Against Isolation<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Just because <\/span><\/p>\n

the sky is\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

blue Is not enough.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not enough the peach\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

on the horizon nor\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

the carefree streak\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

of clouds stitched half-hazardly.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not nearly enough\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

when you are <\/span><\/p>\n

alone <\/span><\/p>\n

enveloped\u00a0<\/span>in a treeless mountain tract<\/span><\/p>\n

of Arctic tundra.<\/span><\/p>\n

So unwelcome is the cold.<\/span><\/p>\n

Invite raw beauty<\/span><\/p>\n

to be your stilted home.<\/span><\/p>\n

Lift it well above the ice. <\/span>Criss <\/span><\/p>\n

cross tracks in the snow<\/span><\/p>\n

no matter if they come <\/span><\/p>\n

or go <\/span>as if <\/span><\/p>\n

to decry I\u2019m here<\/em> or<\/span><\/p>\n

Here\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0am\u00a0 \u00a0 \u00a0I.<\/span><\/p>\n
