Finlandia
I
want
to go
to Finland,
the country of lakes
where wolves still live in the forests.
The great Northern wilderness - midnight days, midnight sun -
revives something deep inside us,
our primieval selves,
where we run
naked
and
wild.
I
want
to hear
that music,
Finnish symphonies,
born and played in the frozen North.
Sibelius created the place I'd imagined -
beyond forests, without borders,
craggy abstractions
that tell us
Finland's
our
home.
