poetry, nov 24










ghostly mirageous eclipse,
magnanimous and fleeting,
how stone-solid are your eyes --
wandering, waiting, passing by
temporary vision, dug from earth

dazzling daydreams twinkle lower
down to this realm wherein the
last dregs of human movement lie
wherein God’s quiet, calloused hands
sculpt the dirt under his fingernails
into a palace made of silent mud, from
where he gazes into a painting and
remembers childhood, wherein he
could enter those old paintings on the
mantelpiece; perhaps that was a dream
from seven memories ago,
rolling in his mind like tired film.

lush green garden sits in waiting for
the third patient to enter its room
with its lacquered walls and quiet
bubbling brook down its center, the
patient sits and he questions his very
wellness, his very cure and very
diagnosis, singular to him and to his
singular subconscience, he stands
and he exits the garden with nary a
passing thought
