and church music drifts.
Brilliant noon.
Fragrant rose,

Hearts are filled with love....

hedgerows of inspirations
a poet’s dreaming reveals

    Paved with leaves of red and gold

no more horses in a swale of green.

To slip out of offbeat colors.
There lay crushed prose he saw through her.
My unattached ground still does bleed
From raked walks on lanes— those who leave....

Open Swim at Six

See many arms, like shark fins, in pool lanes.
In laps, dusting off dark,
The shiver starts on their mark.
Young stars heading for the lark.

most people were asleep as buildings swayed,
light poles fell down empty lanes,

Disaster seems to follow, wherever I go.
I journey quickly through busy city streets, roads and lanes.
People shout and scream, they run at my arrival.

Which way does the spell go? 
Where does her fury go? 
Wry face and fuming heart
Wilted meadow we see
Witching hour saddles her
Waiting to cast the spell
Walking on mystic lanes
