  • next to this dream

    sometimes you come to me
    like a strange light in a crystalline dream
    and your smile is as soft as the flame
    of a red candle.  such thoughts can comfort
    me through quiet and long, lonely nights.

    a thought of you is like a swallow's wing-tip
    touching the water, a whiff of gentle breeze
    leaving no shadow to be caught, no light
    to be traced;  a falling star.

    on white sails, tranquil with warm dreams,
    i fly out on a river, across the hills
    through blue clouds and the depths of night
    and i lose myself, thinking the amber stars are your eyes...

    next to this dream, i want no other world.

  • see-thru double play

    dressed for radio fade
    when the aurora borealis
    is domiciled and everyone
    had to go somewhere: somehow
    thunder and lightning strikes
    twice at the same spot...at the same
    time, a glider chair creaks and rubber
    hits the road, sneakers shuffle off and

    in a nightly setting, militarily:
    Parade Rest….. attention! Cicadas!
    humming*, *they are humming: HOLDsum Bread
    Jingles: thin sliced and crusty, fade outs

    signal Black Label whistle breaks
    TastyTongue Jellies top light bred
    loafing> Short stops ! out fielders
    swat flies, (too late) the ball dropped!
