Fjorded

by

Doug Larson

ice blue and sugar white
in arctic glow
the moon and the sun share twilight skies
airbrushed painted pale blue
shiny black and wet now rises
dark volcanoes from the sea
spouting steam like ash in geysers
disappearing into gray and green
and furry brown floats backward
tuskless mini walrus weasels eating
looking unperturbed in rippled waves
then vanishing
black and white torpedoes chase
our racing vessel over swells
and burst like missiles from the water
diving deep beneath the spray
where thunder cracks the vesper air
hard wall of blue falls heedlessly
reveals a ragged patch of black
for a frigid stream in torrents fall
while on the deck the icy wind
demands of me to drink it all
