Notes About The Poem

Listen to poem:

Starlit Gyroscope

winds whirling clouds about
within the confines of this mind
stirred emotions in motion
stagnant waters notwithstanding
spinning all perspectives askew

after the pub crawl
where will we land
if not by the sea
practicing our butterfly stroke
under a monarch moon
