Short Contrapuntal Poems

Little Pigeon River
	
	
	Little Pigeon River’s 
	water lullaby, 
	the flow’s soft percussion 
	against mossy green 
	rounded river rocks,
	multi-layered, 
	contrapuntal,
	a faint hiss,
	tiny scrapings 
	as small stones 
	are settled into place 
	by the cold current,
	my eyes heavy, 
	sleep waiting nearby....

A contrapuntal harmony made from pure
singing mathematical light.
The music cannot be denied,
it flows on like a silk dragon
over rolling savanna.
The hairs in my ears begin to dance,
the notes are calling out prismatic stars,
not the ones we see
but suns born in the shadowy cells 
of our own fallen angels....
