IMPROVISATION #233
PROCLAMATION


Hinting more days
 of winter
  the groundhog
 in the underground
 by bog and in silence
  comes out
 like a Beat poet
after a slog of winter snow
goes up to the hinterland
and country hill
in the rucksack of meadow
shouting out\side
words we not know
in tongues of
  the groundhog
who decides  to  head  back inside
       from his  shadow  to proclaim
to the media
it is the sunlight
for more days of the season
  for  Puxsatawney Phil
in  Pennsylvania.
