Arctic Winds
I am winter hibernating
Inside an Eskimo’s hut
Feeding only on fish oil
And frozen blue blood
My heart’s cold and dormant
Cowering under a dampened vestment
Pumping only yesteryear’s rust
And icicles of my dust
My eyes are swollen rocks
A midst polarized sockets
Terrorizing all that’s passed
Like forgotten arctic icebergs
My veins are hollow crevasses
Inside a glaciers ice-flow
Sheering and groaning chasms
Like my memories sharpest spasms

Bolt and bar the shutter for the foul winds blow Our minds are at their best this night and I seem to know That everything outside us is mad as the mist and snow That everything outside us is mad as the mist and snow.
Horace there by Homer stands, Plato stands below And here is Tully’s open page, how many years ago Were you and I, lads, mad as the mist and snow? Were you and I, lads, mad as the mist and snow?
You ask what makes me sigh, what makes me shudder so I shudder and I sigh to think that even Cicero And many minded Homer were mad as the mist and snow That Cicero and Homer were mad as the mist and snow That Cicero and Homer were mad as the mist and snow …
