The North Shore

by Leonard M Hawkes

The blue-gray cold December moon
Illuminates rising heat;
No wind, only restless frigid air.

Here I stand alone, —seek and am sought
Only by the Earth;
The husk, the power of appeal:

The Rod, the Staff, the only persuasion;
But the Soul burns yet,
And with crumbling ash, —Moist Truth.
