Get after it

hello john, hello olivia,

       this is tortilla flats here,
blue gum chil'n,  brush boom leather shoes pilot gogs & tites.

 - old mendenhall they call in my dreams!

Tears! the size of ice bergs come out of winters polar eyes,
    
      a cup of coffee shakes the shivers & ice shackles off fur and clothes.

Glaciers man, Glaciers.
Alaska man, Alaska -

        Titan country

titan trees,
titan mountains,
titan water,
titan
   men
and
      tantric spruce women -

of course the men are spruced too.

Jet engines all in a whirl, wood
grain spoon, bear meat and bear oil,
sockeye milt, eggs, meat, raw & cooked.

L-E-A-T-H-E-R

i'm wretched, sappy britches butt,
smells like beer, mold, sweat,
old socks, tobacco & rain.

PSHHHHHHH       PsHhhhhhhh

      - Shucked out in the tent,
it pours all night.

This country growls, until you growl back.

Lived on a glacier, 21 days. My hair grew out.
Bit under the lip by mosqozitos,
that's the only bad part.

Northern lights, silky green in the linen sky, skeletal drift ......
....
...............

HEY!           OLD WAYS!

Over here,                                                     & here

                         & here.
The teachings of a thousand years of moss, a thousand of eagles, a thousand tides and celestial out-posts like sunken ships, spring yarrow, and high brush cranberries.

                GOOMPH
 
         - berry blood

       Shagank!    - trout man

land slogger,
peak peaker,

I see you, i love you, you are my friend.
