Northern Influence


an artic blast blows the birds off course

brings the tourists into the south where

warm air seems to last all year...   the

area that was settled by those who were

released from british prisons, seeking a

new life in a new country with new

inhabitants who had lived here before;

an artic winds blows memories in from

the past that we tried to hide so that our

futures would be more pleasant but

which brought us only despair in the

retelling...  as we hoped no one was

listening but they heard anyway and 

gave us the evil eye for our way of life;

an artic tunnel is formed in the upper

atmosphere extending down into the

gulf where all the hurricanes come to

die each fall...  we see the remnants all

around us as we try not to escape but

rather embrace our futile inheritance.
