SOLILOQUY 

I arise as infant Phoenix 
from Akasha ashes 
counterparts frozen

Of Sitka Spruce and Western Hemlock,
That dominates the landscape.
The name Alaska originates
From the Aleut word ‘Alyeska,’
Meaning the ‘mainland’ or...

I’ve unfurled the Southern Cross tonight and put it
On the wall, and as I gazed the longest while.. I thought I heard the

What a hugging jollity and what jump delight
With "Golly! Everything!" deep in the night;

earthquakes
And hellfire
