Jupiter's Boulder
Down below are the things I always see
Up above is where I look and dream to be
Car horns, peoples scorn, lives forlorn
European buckthorn, Cockspur hawthorn
Undone errands, lists of chores
Green-backed heron, Procyon lotor
clock, phone, email, text it, calendar
Trackless footpath, Jupiter's Boulder

Muskrats
"The life in us is like the water in the river. It may rise this year higher than man has ever known it, and flood the parched uplands; even this may be the eventful year, which will drown out all our muskrats. It was not always dry land where we dwell. I see far inland the banks which the stream anciently washed, before science began to record its freshets." HDT, Walden
Those muskrats don't drown easily, but eventually they will. Hopefully from a steady flood...

Treacherous Confetti
Climb the heights above the Hudson
Before the road is safe and open
Icy pillars line the road cheering
I pass in wonder, never fearing
The fans would shower down upon me
treacherous, mountain thaw confetti
Icy stone crashing leeward, fore
That's what I wear a helmet for
