ice arch
left to freeze overnight
before supporting pile of stones removed
(made in a field of cows - tense wait)
pissed on stone too frozen to come out
fourth attempt successful
other three arches collapsed or melted
Brough, Cumbria
1-2 December 1982

from his diary: "Visable from long distance - attracted someone from long way - good to show it.
Went back later to draw it - arrived just in time to see a very old man knock it down
with a gun - sad." :'c

Lake Nora's Arms

To find Lake Nora, think about the shore of Coochiching. Ride the thought through the Severn locks, past the sanatorium at C48, marked in block letters at the bottom of the map. Lake Nora
whistles through these places to her throne, dragging the graphed lines with her like a thrashing salmon breaking through the net. Lake Nora is ready for battle when she gets there, dispatching chiding red squirrels and magpies down the chimney.

To find Lake Nora go Sherpa. Stop looking. Read the signs. To find Lake Nora follow the signal in your teeth. To find Lake Nora, return all your library books, believe in nothing.

-Excerpt from the poem How To Find Lake Nora by Canadian Michael Redhill
