do something

I enjoyed a nice cigar last evening on the back deck alone with my thoughts. I really just don't know where my writing is going these days. I am getting an occasional poem to trickle out but it isn't as easy as it used to be. I don't know if they were ever any good anyway. It's frustrating to be without a peer to bounce them off of. At least then you can read the non verbal cues as to how good the said passage or poem may have been. Even the blogging has me wondering... is it constructive, worth the time that i put into it. Maybe I don't have anything interesting to contribute to the wide web community. anyway on and on...

speaking of worthless poetry ;-)

The daylight

The dawn daylight and the eve's
light fade
Silence descends
ascending to crescendo

Midnight through mayan blues
Its hues wash down to
the horizon.
Falling through white
through gold
Splashing into deep red
and pale brown.

The hillside silent as to
its slope
The distance of the rise
only shown in the
snowy patches

The evergreens silent and
black, still silouhettes
against which the spectrum
shines through

on the move, out of touch

I have been in anchorage since saturday. Unfortunately internet connectivity is limited so I am writing this from a guest computer. I've been settling in and once again we are living in a sea of boxes. Living in a house has already raised the comfort level. I have seen moose everyday I have been here so far. Yesterday one was not more than 5 feet from our living room window. The moose are clever enough to realize they will not be hunted within the city limits. The anchorage from dillingham move has been tinged with a bittersweet feeling. My gripes... CITY Speed living, being reintroduced to all you can handle and more consumerism. The upside...I can explore more cultural events, concerts, etc alone and with the kids, prices for most though not all groceries are significantly reduced (although i read in the morning paper the food prices are expected to soar through the summer), the all you can handle consumerism is a benefit when you realize you really really need something. Anyway I will try and get myself online and back to a more consistent posting schedule asap.

The Rosanero took a tie with Atalanta this weekend, they are holding on to tenth place :-).
