A Vanilla Dove
...Cypress trees like evergreen steeples
rise above rows of gravestone woes,
their shadows lie side by side like railroad ties
across writhing paths banded like snakes;
gravel birth cords sinuous

where magnificent protection is an aura I am in fully capacity within-
the storm of dr...

stark face follows...
The guns show line's in the time's,
as drifty as sand and wines...
The larkspur gives them grows,
the English meter mows,

White
...4 a.m. fog rich on fields tranquil.
Holstein milk slaps the bucket by hand.
White reports parking-lot cars with lights on.

Lorazepam

Liquid-smooth muscles at rest
Dreamy with drifty thoughts
Tea-kettle steam pre hiss

...Grey mounds of a futile landscape
Life is a feeling the fuel
Rain thunders; under cover drape
Remote, imm'diate and truthful

O', but how the cooly wind blow...

And the ground beneath me felt drifty
Throwing my mind off track

My Cloud By Preston
...My cloud is a drifty sort of cloud.
A kicked back, go-where-the-wind-blows, kind of cloud.
It’s an easy-going, shoes-off, feet-on-the-table, kind of a place.
If there were a door, it would be a ...

From the cloudy sky
It floats softly down,
Drifting silently by
Quickly blankets the ground.
On skeletal tree limbs and evergreen boughs
Covering dead leave...

...A touch of love, a touch of faith,
A touch of hope inside.
Pull up your anchor, put up your sails
And rough the drifty tide.

Set out on the great deep sea....

When You'Re Pushin' Fifty

Set in your ways and more thrifty—
Your poor ol’ joints just keep on achin’
As your mind starts gettin’ “drifty.”
