Frost-bitten wall
of crackled, crystallized caramel;
immense, fluorescent,
breathing mass of stoppage,
deliberately picked at, bitten,
mazed cleavage to a Pacific calm.

Perched on the peak of a continent,
head raised to orange vaudeville clouds,
hesitating the leap east,
I’m reminded of Hegel -
I grasp with green swollen fingers
at a crack of ego –
perhaps a grappling hook
and a boost from the moon,
perhaps just patience.

craigrk, I have read this several times and think I know what you are saying and then the next time I read, I think something else.  No matter...I still like it.  Good job,  ME
