Arctic

Next season
Promise you will come visit home
There's a reason
Some of us wander off alone

Latent curses
Family is no place to run
Armed with verses
Fired them at the midnight sun

Teach the children
Stories of honor and regret
Said the wise men
Tracing their darkening silhouettes

The arctic circle moves
And separates as silence proves
That time again the words you read
Rarely satisfy your need

Undercover
Dancing beneath the northern light
Found some others
Destined to roam the polar night

How could we be
Expected to keep within these walls
With so many
Places to go when the roadway thaws

The arctic circle grows
A stronghold of inerrant prose
It holds the stories never told
Of all of those left out in the cold

Now when I'm driving through
And see the glaciers break in two
I wonder what caused destiny
To harden its will and favor me

Next season
Promise you will come visit home
