Alpenglow

Alpenglow

Winter takes its toll

Alaska mood settles in

we are ambitious elk

dreaming above freezing

begging the gnomonist

to flash to busy season

~

I’ll sell my soul

for one more alpenglow

or at least hitch a ride

up the unforgiving mountainside

my legs are cut from the climb

the view is sublime

~

Spring comes in due time

flowers emerge from the thaw

stems adorn suspicious thorns

anticipating lovers’ blood

they’d rather fight to hold their ground and stay

than be trapped in a clichéd bouquet

~

I’ll sell my soul

for one more alpenglow

or at least hitch a ride

up the unforgiving mountainside

my legs are cut from the climb

the view is sublime

~

Summer comes in hot

the rise before the fall

we are surreptitious sanders

smoothing out the wood

so we can avoid the inside

polished smell of pine

~

I’ll sell my soul

for one more alpenglow

or at least hitch a ride

up the unforgiving mountainside

my legs are cut from the climb

the view is sublime

~

I’ll sell my soul

for one more alpenglow

~
