Short Norther Poems

crumbling foundation
leaning precariously
blue norther blowing...

Translucent and absorbing light
Opaline and burning
A piece of farther norther glass
Death and nightmares earning

Silhouetted against the dawn
Flashing in mid-sun’s light
Laying on the burning sand
A crystal piece of night

Listen to poem:

Maybe I’ll Go For A Walk
David J Walker

Maybe I’ll go 
	For a walk
Old men think such thoughts
	About 
How to spend time on
A cold December morn

Maybe I’ll walk
	In the park
Disembark in a different
form
Same land different 
	Time 
When the park was 
	Mine
And my friends 

No ends to the things
We could do
Even if a blue
Norther came in

Maybe I’ll go 
	For a mile
And maybe a mile more

One mile 
every day
until I need not 
	go away
anymore...

Songbirds fleeing norther; she's hushed them

With the sky's rivers of crime,
A girlhood doll robbed by rainfall's stealth—
The eternal crack in me herself—
To weather out, when by time....
