Day: June 22, 2019

  • dusk

    Glory
    shall i tell you about my
    twilight conversation with the wind
    when dusk settled upon my heart
    and fog drifted inland from the housatonic river
    slowly covering my window
    at close of day
    and all the things close at hand ... seemed far.except above the skylight--
    a handful of lost stars
    twinkled in a jade cage

    and in the hall mirror, a portion
    of a smoldering smile was like
    a quiet fire, with

    ashes crumbling and blowing
    in a wall of wind , spent.i wonder. if there is no pity,
    no answer, and no memory, is
    one glorious twilight enough
    to hold the remembered light
    of my life

    after it is lost
    and dim?

  • shapes of islands

    yellow clouds

    yellow clouds approach
    a blue darkness

    my mind resists sleep
    since i lost the star of my dreams

    evening is reeling in the night
    apart we shift into shapes of islands

    if i could sleep, would i form
    a boneless imprint in the night

    in a graceful, steadfast motion
    like a seashell coiled layer on layer

    by a wave of prehistory

    do you remember
    anything about me
    how the clouds came
    and blurred a silent image
    in the faint green light
    a restless movement
    that became a lens
    magnifying an image
    without light

    a pebble
    a pearl
    words dripping through my fingers
    without effervescence
    like flat champagne
    moments felled like trees

    a shadow snagged on memory
