Poem Title:
Poem
I see you standing there shivering and forcing a smile. I see you standing there looking at me for a while. I wasn’t sure that it was you so I kept staring to figure out who, but my eyes grows dim, and the grainy image on the screen that I could hardly see display a naked log leaning close to the wall with no branches except for some tiny sprouts on its head looking out at the dead. It has been in the sun for a while so it’s white bark become brown and the tanned log crammed in a secluded space waited for an eternal cover. I wonder when this mystery will be over. The rodents and the squirrel gather around and look at the log and frown and disappeared into their hole. Everything was quiet for a moment but the mongoose peeped out from the bush, looked furiously around created a frantic scene on the ground. It attacked a snake and wrapped it around its neck and both struggle to their venomous death. I have often wondered what it would be like to be a diamond and walk on ice, living with the arctic and subarctic people from Serbia to Alaska all the way to Canada. I have often wondered what it would be like to live with the Inuit and Yupik, majority hunting food in the valley and plant grains when the weather is warm. I would go hunting in the sun and water the roots with rum, and cover the naked log with animal skin to keep them warm and purge them from their sins .When the South Pole and the North Pole meet, the magnetic field will tremble under your feet and fire will burn in your gut and the ice will fall apart. I wonder what it would be like to live in Greenland between the arctic and the Atlantic Ocean; we would comb through the icy waters every day stepping on ice sheet, feeding on eels and rice and eating Danish food as a monthly sacrifice. Let’s go to the south to see what this mystery is all about, put on your best suite and dress in a good pair of shoes. Take a good look at the hydropower in the city and observe how the kinetic energy and the potential energy in the south are strong, they are walking together hand in hand and new business are rising up from the earth. But the North Pole is holding on and the cold temperature keeps trotting along. When will it be over?
