About This Poem

Search Of

Up in the north
of somewhere
as it always is

cold and lonely

a howl
blusters with snowy
whispers of

nothing

emptiness
full of
loneliness

raw

stomach pit
survival
of the bare

fittest

rippling stream
silenced by
baskin-robbin’s

freezer

didn’t expect that?
neither did 
Sam McGee

when he stopped by
for thirty one
flavors

seasoned well
thought the wolves
munching his bones come spring

miners
rough necks
pipe liners

Alaska
of the heart
don’t tell me you don’t go there

often
in search of

you
