northern migration

in southern latitudes true
most do
but here
it's queer I think
that warm things stay

some come
and
go
Thule
another colder Roanoke
meadows in Newfoundland
choked stones
alone
lost
ships
teapots
minds
men
Inuit
again

or fleeing
war
start new lives
languages
sound


i will not die north
see dark hunter and crosses?
tell me
why i rise
when i flow warm?
