Photo to POETRY "Bull Wheel" by Michele Burke

November 25, 2013  •  Leave a Comment

Look up to the grinding wheel of industry and blue sky carrying us to the summit.  Thin wood skis, to short and light, to the wide tongue of a snowboard.  A child with skis in a "v," a teen races past, a man expertly airborne in a jump, a father hoists his child on the lift, grandparents sashay down on skis with knees tight.  Back to the wheel and pulley and blue sky; to the turn of time, the roll of the northeast.  Ride up with feet swinging and let the mountain surprise you. Some years you will surprise it:  Not the child but the teen, not the teen but the jumping man, the parent strapped to child, the grandparent sashaying down, back to the wheel that takes us up.
