Skidmore College

Skidmore College - Bolton Hall

Saratoga morning mist
naked legs wrestle a
breeze - the living
section of the morning
paper floats freely
across patches of green
grass beneath incredible
pines. . .

Out there, beyond evergreens
drenched in morning light,
a destination, unknown
as pavement stretches
wraps, curled about broken
limbs and patches of ice. . .

A few steps left to climb
and I stip to dream, half
seeing hungry birds peeking
at a single blade of grass.
And, as I glance up
a brass sign tells me
this is Bolton Hall.
