These are the days that Reindeer love
Perch on their water perch hung in the clear Bann River Near the clay bank in alder dapple and waver, Perch they called ‘grunts’, little flood-slubs, runty and ready, I saw and I see in the river’s glorified body That is passable through, but they’re bluntly holding the pass, Under the water-roof, over the bottom, adoze On the current, against it, all muscle and slur In the finland of perch, the fenland of alder, on air That is water, on carpets of Bann stream, on hold In the everything flows and steady go of the world.

Welcome Back To This, Your Isle The rabbits beneath the deck, Even the pesky deer who eat the shrubbery, Sea creatures, living and spirits of the dead, Lying on the paths and in the creeks of Silver Beach, All inquire: Was it better wherever you went? Were the: Bears, hiding in the forests outside Berlin, Eagles, double headed, of Russia Herring, fried, creamed, wined, From the vendors on the docks of Helsinki, Riga, Visby and Tallinn, Salmon, smoked and cured in Stockholm, More impressive, Tastier than our striped bass, Island cohorts of yours, who waited patiently For their chronicler to return? Did the Little Mermaid and her Dolphin Guardians of the Port of Copenhagen Welcome you more warmly than your friends, The ospreys, lizards, turtles and owls Who overwatch your steps and safety When hiking in Mashomack Preserve? Are the interlacing tidal creeks, Woodlands, fields, salt marshes and the ragged, Irregular but charmed coastline of this cherished island Any lesser than those of Scandinavia? Are the sea-going ferries that transverse the Baltic Sea and the Gulf of Finland, More poetic than the Menantic or the Lt. Joe, Who carry you swiftly home to us? The National Geographic people say that in Tivoli Gardens, The Amerikaner (ha!) waffle ice cream cone Is one of the ten best in the world. Guessing they have not made it yet to the Tuck Shop for some Moose Tracks! Were you unaware that our isle settled before Peter the Great ever envisioned creating the grand Boulevards of his capitol, St. Petersburg, Route 114 was a traveled forest path, By settlers and Indians, not serfs. Of the Treasures, the Gold Room of the Hermitage, The Amber Room of Catherine's Palace, Wrote not a single word, we observe. Your attentions, they did not deserve? The answers all, self evident. Here, surrounded by the gentle breezes of Long Island Sound and Gardiners Bay, Sweet and salty flavors of the Peconic atmosphere, Words unlocked, from your eyes to the page fall, Smudged by joyous tears, for the muses of the island Have embraced you yet again and rebirthed Inspiration, within their comforting, sheltering grasp.

The Hawker Hurricane is a British fighter design from the 1930s. Some 14,000 Hurricane and Sea Hurricane fighters and fighter-bombers were built by the end of 1944。 August 1940 brought what has become the Hurricane's shining moment in history: The Battle of Britain. RAF Hurricanes accounted for more enemy aircraft kills than all other defenses combined, including all aircraft and ground defenses. Later in the war, the Hurricane served admirably in North Africa, Burma, Malta, and nearly every other theater in which the RAF participated. The Hurricane underwent many modifications during its life, resulting in many major variants, including the Mk IA, with interchangeable wings housing eight 7.7mm (0.303in) guns;the Mk IIC, with a Merlin ** engine; the Mk IID, a tankbuster with two 40mm anti-tank guns plus two 7.7mm guns. During the war, Hurricanes were sold to Egypt, Finland, India, the Irish, Persia, Turkey and the USSR Air Corps.More in http://www.rangorango.com/124-series-c-1_5.html

at the finland station
Sara not so plain and not so tall Daydreaming in the shopping mall As blond as a summer day Speaking of herself in a peculiar way: "I'm pretty, yes, but I wish to be better; To be the admiration of a love letter." But her beauty is the kind that lasts And makes your heart beat especially fast. Finland born but London found, Lovely, sure, but greatness bound. And the nights grow more tiresome, as her chest beats a tattered drum. Her mood too dreary for speckled eyes that will dim if night blurs into sunrise. "Sleep why do you run from me, as my memories grow. Eyelids, be a blanket, And melatonin, a pillow." Victoria Lucas in her head, as the bell does ring until fed by the words that sound soft to us but are actually strong and thus she is misunderstood-lips are red- Like Greenwood inspired, kissed dread: She can save herself before jarred, Before feathered, before tarred. And it is my faith that lets me know, That her happiness will one day grow Because Sara not so plain and not so tall Is the strongest of them all

St Henry was for Finland, and before he took the land He wandered through Uppsala with a beer-mug in his hand. For through his understanding of the Finns and what they are If you should serve him sahti, it must be in a jar. St Patrick was for Ireland, and before the snakes were out He ate a steak, and washed it down with pints of Guinness stout. For since he was from Ireland, people shouldn't make mistakes: Unless you give him Guinness, then you mustn't give him steaks. St Louis was from France, and before he was the king, He bought champagne and cheeses and he ate like anything. For since he was from France, I must say it once again: Unless you give him cheeses, then there must be no champagne.

it's quiet simple, i remembered it finally, lost long ago in the dwarven mines to memory, the weights and measures were hard to balance, but, when the recipe was finished, boy, was it finished... so this is how it goes: 150 grams of plain flower            2 teaspoons of baking powder     pinch of salt              (mix),     add 4 eggs                    (mix),           add 600 millilitres of whole milk       (mix & cover, leave aside for at least half an hour), melt a **** of butter, pour into a baking tray,             place in an oven at 180°C                        for half an hour...    serve with anything from icing sugar           lingonberry jam (or any other jam)     to crème fraîche. and that's it... it's not your typical pancake, but it's from Finland after all.

how to make a Finnish pancake
In June of 1989, 14 poets, all alumni of Columbia University, took a trip to Moscow. I was one of them. We flew from New York City to Moscow via Helsinki, Finland. We met with the editors of NOVY MIR (NEW WORLD), the most famous literary magazine in the Soviet Union, which broke up in 1991.We all gathered around a large oak table mixing Americans with Russians. We began reading only one poem each. When each Russian recited his poem, he stood up. I was impressed. Each Russian poet spoke perfect English. Eventually, it became my turn. I recited I WRITE WHEN THE RIVER'S DOWN. When I had finished reading, I went around the long oak table and handed each Russian poet a copy of my poem. I had made many copies of my poem in Topeka, KS, my hometown. Copy machines were illegal in the Soviet Union for fear that dissident, underground revolutionaries might wish to spread their fervent hopes of democratizing their nation to millions of their fellow citizens. The next day, we 14 Americans were going to attend a meeting of the Moscow Chapter of the Soviet Writers Union. As I was getting out of our bus and stepping on the sidewalk, I heard a voice crying, "Mr. Hawks, Mr. Hawks! Please stop. I have something for you." As I looked to my left, I recognized a Russian gentleman from the day before. When he reached me, he said "I am Evgeny Chramov. You gave all of us a copy of your beautiful poem. I was so taken by it, I stayed up all night translating it into Russian. I had to type it again, so if I saw you today, I would be able to give you my translated copy." He put his briefcase on the sidewalk, opened it, and pulled out his Russian translation, and handed it to me. I was stunned. I said "Mr. Chramov, how thoughtful and generous of you to stay up all night translating my poem into Russian! Bless you, Mr. Chramov." As we were walking together into the building, I stopped and spoke to my new friend. "Mr. Chramov, I have a favor to ask of you. Would you be willing to read your translation of my poem in this meeting? "Of course! I'd be honored to do that," said Mr. Chramov. When it came time for him to read, Mr. Chramov, standing up,  read his translation of my poem. I was elated. The meeting soon came to a close. A woman who had chaired the meeting walked by me without stopping and said to me, again in perfect English, "You really are a poet, aren't you?" Her comment, and Mr. Chramov's responses,, I have never forgotten. TOD HOWARD HAWKS

The papers are wet with ink. Russia is losing it's war. North Korea is swamped with the Covid. Tucker is backpedaling his replacement theory. Finland and Sweden are enrolling. Armament shipments are making a difference. The Pope is apologizing. That needs repeating: The Pope is apologizing. (But why stop with the Aboriginals. Consider the Jews and Irish). Fossil fuels are on the decline. (plastic microchips are in our fat) I can still buy Roundup. Tobacco is banned in most public places here. *** is not. There are more drunks, and more behind bars, and in front. We have safe injection sites. I have robots asking me if I'm a robot. There are more tv stations selections. TV is not worth watching. LPs are making a comeback. Right to Life is Wrong for Many. ... and on... and on

The World Is A Double Edged Sword
The Escape When Rudolph the red nosed reindeer wanted to Be normal and join the flock on earth, Santa got depressed Sat by many of Finland’s lakes contemplating his life He too was tired of flying through the air and gets a cold He wanted sunlight and a sandy beach. He got hold of a tame water buffalo and an unemployed Drunk from Helsinki and for a while they got away with it Till an elf with a grudge told a newspaper about it and children too Had long wondered why Rudolph had two horn, not antler and why Santa was late, swore and kept falling off his sledge. Santa had to come back from Thailand and sort out this corruption He told twitter he was sorry, but fired blabber mouthed elf. He had to look for sober man to act as Santa and train a new reindeer, Because Rudolph and had got the taste of the high life.

the escape from Finland
i smash my guitar one day, start listening to b.b.c. radio 4 the next day, what in god's name?! p.s. it's a talkie station, no music, first up the diet problem of finland, esp. in the dairy rich region that inspired sibelius, about how: real men don't work on vegetables but on fat, because vegetables are for animals... and how a national intervention demanded berries on the menu of these men; a list of fruits i used to eat: pomegranates, passion fruit, apples pears pineapples bananas, cantaloup melons water melons, sharon fruit mangos, strawberries blackberries blueberries, lychees oranges mandarins, white grapes black grapes, sour weeds cherries and above all else gooseberries; and that's not mentioning the vegetables. but about listening to b.b.c. radio 4, how did i become so middle-aged "middle-class" english so quick?

horrific transition
cannot find true rest, all the tumult in this world, writ both large and small, saps my upraised arms alternate flexing angry fists eager to strike hard my revived new **** enemies, and gods inexcusable and conspicuous absence in Barcelona, Finland and my own Charlottesville, and to quiet comfort commiserating, and storing all the pain of individual souls I've acquired willingly and the sunset comes quiet, trying to sooth by adding a gentling cream of cooling breeze, the squirrels eye me suspiciously, sensing the amiss within, and all perfect sailboats voyaging past, yet none stopping at the dock to offer condolences or solaces my watch ticks louder each tick, a worrisome cursed reminder this real life seems to be endless struggle interrupted by small comforts of little voices and promises that escape is inevitable each tock, a fresh notification the week's approach will contain another visit from Hamlet's ghost, warning of warring factions battlefield clashing in a chesterfield plain between two of mine shoulder blades constantly reminded how lucky I am, makes me grow quiet and put pen to one side, and try to balance accounts, using this time, pencil and erasure I need a break and some glue I need reparations and a battle plan or happily learn to surrender and accept being a dumb terminal, a slave, that doesn't ask for peace of mind and knock off this poet of the no way

a tempestuous weekend
Ravens circle in the sky above Dark images cast upon the snow I sit on a cold bench in the garden Waiting Snow falls like white dust He said he would be here In this garden of thorns and rose hips This garden of skeleton sticks And blood red berries Tassels on my wool cap from Finland Sway in the icy wind A grey heavy sky above Ravens dive towards the sea Ominous signs Waiting in this decaying garden A very old man sits next to me His white beard covered with snow He isn't coming, the old man says My body dead to words Don't you know? the old one whispers Don't you know?

Cry Freedom, the Lapland It is not only Caledonia and the Flemish people who are crying freedom, a new nation has been born It stretches from Norway, Sweden and Finland. The Swedes has accepted this new state as the female activists said it would be discriminatory and racists to deny The indigenous people their right. Norway refused point blank, and as a retaliation has shut shops selling oranges and bananas. The Norwegian has seen through this ruse, if the new country called “Lapland” is a state it will lay claim to untapped oil in the Barents Sea. It is said that Exxon is behind this, me, I blame Putin.

in the photograph from the wildlife camera she appears at dusk, side-on her full tail in the air: the big ginger cat from the farm next door she is one of those puzzles you find in newsprint books at the tobacconists — which one of these doesn’t belong? — because before and after her on the camera were a mountain lion and a red fox *Film ain’t dead yet. We brought three disposables to festival, the ones that whirr up, do thirty exposures and flash so bright they blind you. Immortalize the medium, the moments are secondary. I remember Dad, toes in the sand, shorts and his eczema legs, with the camera, you were building castles – the photos are somewhere. Shining millennial baby then, ringing me now, drunk, crying.* i thought of the two bobcats who came to the picture window on St. Stephen’s Day at three o’clock in the morning looking intently in and the man in Finland whose dog got out: the wolves at the forest fringe were calling it to come and play there was no blood, he said the dog just disappeared into their jaws *There was more blood, this time, the third time, third time, that you had tried to excommunicate yourself from this life without consulting me. You know, when I tried that nonsense they dragged me kicking and screaming to the clinic.* still she comes around: again this morning on the deer trail where she sat gazing up the jays and the blackbirds with new hatchlings diving, exploding into the air and her wearing their worry and disapproval — even, you think their appetites and their hatred like a bright blessing the urgent chatter of the birds an electric hum almost to the horizon *Here you are again. This last time past you were probably on drugs, you were vomiting adoration down the phone. Reborn? You’re seventeen, the black dog keeps going for your throat but lifts you by the scruff. I’m watching you fly up in a spray of wings, loose feathers, high heels and lamentation. I’m no lioness – I’m just a fat, cool cat you think is mighty. I surrendered to the mice though, when I was your age.*

If it handn't been for you I would've never stood here With all these women Competing to find The strongest Highlander I doubt anyone here Is an actual Highlander The one with the temper She's from Spain The ultimate butch Is an Algarian ******* Finland and Poland Are represented And you, we may never find out Who gave life To your exquisite existance But as I sat down under the pear tree With you "dominant girls" I hear a soft whisper I wish I could reach up and give you one I smiled and whipered back so do it And sure enough As we spoke beneath The tallest pear tree One fell down And hit you on the sholder We roared from laughter I said grace To the voices For restoring my faith In that one voice Who always echoes In the depths of my heart The one who has always been Out of reach and out of touch And it's fine Because he's here anyway.

Rabbits on the moon So much of the universe I didn’t know, Like the Antarctic dolphins that live in the snow. Or the ostrich of Scotland that wears a pink kilt, And the Icelandic sunflowers that never shall wilt. There’s kittens than swim in the cold baltic sea, Or the cobras of Poland with raspberry *** There are turtles with shells made of musical twine, And bulldogs in France that crush grapes into wine. The are sloths up In Finland that wear woolly hats, Made from the hair of some ginger Swiss cats. There are budgies that swim in the seas deepest cracks, And hamsters in Egypt with humps on their backs. But nothing compares to my favourite ****** toon, Did you know there are wild rabbits that live on the moon? They are scary and angry and take people from tours. They pull at their legs, just like I’m pulling yours.
