Notes About The Poem

When Golden Gates Fall



"When Golden Gates Fall"

The gates are seen in a dream
all channels open 
the water swirling
all the faces falling 

escaping mirrors

the golden gate swings 
all its symphony strings sing
holding up the visage 
of lives traversing a bridge 

from one side to the other

as seen in a dream
through glass
the ever beckoning unreckoning 
calls all in slumber unpoetically in
