Somewhere In the Arctic
The Inuit looked out of his igloo
at the vast wilderness, endless snow,
" Autumn is coming " he said to his wife,
and she answered " how will we know?"...

Robin?
What name
would the Inuit
give to you
whose arrival
could not suggest
our same joys of spring
hence
perhaps your red breast
should signify death....

The Wit of the Inuit
Their igloos were short on insulation
Causing the Inuit consternation ~
Since the tops were all bare
They covered them with hair ~
Aha! Their 'Wigloos' were a sensation...

Blankets
Another warm blanket
smothering our soul;
its threads
bound with toxins
weave through us all.
While our north
suffocates
caught in its fold,
our Inuit future
is already sold.
The hem is dripping milk
sour from the breast.
The weight of this truth
should be crushing our chest....

Entranced
And what if I do love someone somewhere?
So what if an Asian woman
occasionally steals my heart away,
or an Inuit maiden, a Celtic lady
or perhaps a Nigerian beauty?
I have paid my dues,
My pillows are stuffed with romantic poems.
And what if God turns out to be
a lovely female I gazed upon yesterday?
So what if I did let her walk into my imagination
just as God does
when I send Her my love letters....

Dining With Crow
In dress, mortician's finery
pure ebony entire,
eshewing tints of purity,
He dropped in by my fire.
It was His island after all;
his chapel ceiling, trees
I see what little I possess
and He
Possesses what He sees.
The trickster of the Inuit
this feathered deity,
I thought He wished to share the Pike
His lake gave up to me.
But thrifty with His speech He was,
As Gods are want to be,
He came around to share my meal
That's all
the time He had for me!...
