to be clubbed to death

so that I 
might be born again 
in spirit song, dance and name 
given by my great ancestor

who, ten thousand...

Professor Hapgood’s studies on ancient maps were fixed
Einstein said his theories should be added to history’s mix
Perhaps it proved too big a leap for other minds to take

Cold and icy passageway to trudge through.
Ships and warships sailed thru the Bering Strait.
In limbo 'tween two nations, iced, staid too.
When I first set out,  for thrill I await.

in the crow’s nest

The Arctic Fire Bugs

Ice nights are the playpen
For the kids born to this land
 Skating rinks and bowling shoes 
Never touched a hand
Or foot that kicked at blocks of ice
As thick as you are tall

chasing animals for your survival,
walking thousands of miles –
hunting to sustain existence.

Your other brothers,
set sail in their...

Bigfoot may have evolved from an extinct specie of ape known as Gigantopithecus.

Man of the Bering Sea


Met a man who lives near the Bering Sea
Whom displays a vastness of proclivity?
Or he’s often exposing his austere propensity
For unto many of his long-winded prolixity
Each and every day he foretells...
