Words you don’t remember,

wind rising in the sky,

you, bereft of fortitude,

sparks will fly..

……

Coals flare into flames; a pettiness

Of heat. Suddenly replete: golden sands,

Crystal brooks, silken lines, silver hooks.

 

Glimpsing what’s already there,

I begin to mount the stairs.

Who cares?

……..

A friend you trust implicitly,

a lover you just like,

a reckoning, that’s obvious,

a slight rearrangement of night.

……..

A study of false documents,

poems, you may surmise,

the woman who called yesterday,

Thank God! She’s still alive!

…….

A feeling unbelievable,

I’ll say it loud, now, if you please,

The never-ending circle,

Designed, I think, to tease.

…….

The beginning of the end, my friend,

your starting block aimed high,

a moment of deep-intimacy,

time passes by

as lightning streaks the sky!
