On the Hill
It has been more than a year now since I moved here to the uplands of Tug Hill Plateau. The things that go on ...
Afternoon bike ride, on a 'ku hunt - didn't see no 'ku - found a
gogyohka instead -
coming to an edge of woods
where everything opens
up to fields
crossing them low in the distance
a few crows

Re: On the Hill

Lew Welch - I liked the man's poetry - i guess something inside the guy had to get out and take
everything with it - depression's a bitch

Re: On the Hill
Lew was heavy
Gary Snyder
used to look for
him in a crowd
at poetry readings
most likely Lew was
carried off by the vultures
but there's always
the mystery of the
way he disappeared
and was never found.....
mingo I highly recommend this book by Ed sanders on kindle

Re: On the Hill
old man points
at the mountain
& the mountain moves
beginning of spring I began hearing the landlord say he was going to move the mountain of gravel behind the place here - be damned the other day if he didn't get his big trac-hoe fired up and begin to dismantle that huge ridge - that ridge was left during the retreat of the last continental ice sheet from these parts 10 to twelve thousand years ago but for three days straight an almost 83 year old Korean war vet has been in assault upon it sitting in the cab of a huge piece of machinery swinging that boom back & forth & round & round in a cloud of diesel exhaust happy as a clam ...
