PAST POETRY MORE POETRY



colors
a conversation with sisters
between their years
their relative human nature
experience and the unknown

                            i asked

if i'm looking at the sun
is it golden
or am i melting into
the molten fire

when i'm wired as high as a flyer
and talk about time passing thru
forever on by
is the blue sky to you
an endless removal of the finite

                            cocoon

are these words a saturated hue
a costume of the muse
the clouds of a painting

to share each separate universe
and contemplate a color code

                            connecting roads

this mirage we desire
this place we conspire
the left and right
churning life

to speak in the grace of a common ground
and talk aloud
many faces many crowds
as many mirrors as individual gods
the battle with the odds

to speak In The Company Of Sisters
and tie a knot
to fall and fall in love
