Haiku: Sharp

The sun descending;
winter’s breeze through the catkins,
sharper on my cheek

My short measured steps back home,
In all conditions

Skeins from far away
Where tundra has turned to snow

Poem: ‘Heed’

Photo by stein egil liland on Pexels.com

Florescent green banners snaking
in the blue;
Polaris over my head,
such beacons of the kingdom
drawing like a magnet,
beckoning closer to ice smothered peaks
of estranged lands;
the incessant drum of the shaman,
ancestors screaming from my heart,
imploring me: “Remember this.”
