#juneau
no mountain too high they said
i rip the wood from the trees,
to build the road to Juneau
and bathe in the endorphin river
dry my ankles
and let them breathe the cold air
so the people know
im just a nobody
break my hands
to feel my legs again
break me down
so i can love again

the walls of the inside passage
look the same from sound to straight
tugs and plugs dot the coastline
as the quartermaster rolls
giving time for evening glare
pods are in sequence
as the high tail smashes and jaws at the krill
white bellies and sea cows bob and weave
as bow heads glide over haida gwaii
northern lights dance
and tlingit chant
as the tide settles softly on savory shores
their getting hungry in hoonah
as the blue back and beating drums
mark the life blood of the sea
driftwood nets
and sitka spruce
surround the cook house
ravens and tinhorns
man the scullery
kerosene lamps flicker
as clam shells roast
on open flames
villagers stroll
on pebbled sand
*in the harbor of souls
where ships set sail
on might and mass
into the steady winds
of the golden skies*
ice fields (to the north)
of kryptonite blue
cutting hills at
a glacial pace
knuckle clouds
above the snowline
where warlocks
craft a hidden trade
trappers, skinners
muscle shoals
grizzly feasts
in kodiak bowl
determined pilgrims
on a dead horse trail
in search of gold
the holy grail

A soul just like the rest of us.
*trapped in a world so bland,
so tasteless.*
May colors paint our world with neon.
May we all find that hidden key.
The minds we once had as children ran so wild and loud!
As if life as we knew it then would be the same forever.
But... we were wrong weren't we?
My dreams aren't even a place of the impossible anymore, they're empty, leaving my body with enough rest to begin the next day just the same as the last.
