A Prussian blue sky
willow weeps golden threads
silver snow drifts on brown earth.
Shy autumnal bird.
Did you brush against the moon
to find that pale down?
In our frail world, even
meteors, the eyes of heaven
fall like dust from God’s hands.
What discus thrower
threw a tangerine moon
on top of Main Street?
Keepsake
There are too many
clocks and not enough
time. I will take
and save this minute
for myself.
This minute
of mercury
this swift night
as sleepless stars
glide through
the sky in
aerial ballet.
Brightly burning star fish...
Do you wonder where you swim?
Wandering sky and ocean flying
floating now near shore line.
Many arms extended tugging
celestial weeds Irish moss.
Grasping glowing orange disc
climbing beds of coral coral.
Do you wonder where you swim
brightly burning star fish?
