Explorer
Venture each day
Minds rich wilderness

Base

Approached by stones
Frost laid on open ground
Touched as we wake

Hold On

Take these half closed eyes
Not yet ready for their pennies
Take me with them, half way
Into your kaleidoscopes, & all, or
Half way to the modern-artists crimsons

Take these de-mystified lenses
Not yet to concede, or give in
Send them half way to paradise
With your surprises; rampant
Rapturous crystals piled ever high

Cabin

Hemingway you said
Read a little Hemingway
Listen to some old Buddy Rich records

Perhaps a bite to eat, smorgasbord or the like
All of this sat by the log fire
With flames away up the chimney

Outside the snow falls
The pathways from the woods are iced over
Those once lively animals have settled

Into burrows and nests, there is no wind
The tufts of grass are all but hidden
By the settled flakes of joyous alimentation

Opposition

Sun sets
In deep resplendent red
Over the distant range
Of silhouette hills

Geese chuckle madly
Through the cusp
Of day and dusk

Somewhere
The evening primrose
Commences its rapid movement

The night at Emerson College
Is thus remembered
All the while I try to calm myself
After a workplace altercation
