Notes About The Poem

Acid and Alkali Dreams

(Dark Pool of Light, 2011 original oil)

Acid and Alkali Dreams

Two sides 
Of the same coin 
Through different filters
Day and night
Pure and adulterated
Sweet and sour
Slippery and sharp
Regular and extra-ordinary
Working together
To keep the balance
By keeping us always
A little off 

Neither this nor that
Always some doubt
On the spectrum of possibility
Dancing with the Moonlit Knight
This bittersweet
Specter
Of day
