In life’s generating zone

Nineteen Ninety One, May Day III

                       III
Alternating between “God Bless America”
And “The Star Spangled Banner”,
The marching band leads the parade
Down Main Street at twelve thirty-five.
Waving flags and sporting yellow ribbons,
Almost the entire population participates;
Leaving a very small audience
To witness this Declaration
Of Independence from Freedom
And the birth of the New World Order.

“The time has been reached”
```
The time has been reached,
The limit surpassed,
For the games of old
Reoccur at last.

You try so hard,
Though you’ve failed before
To bridge the stream
And open the door.

Dream Fragment 11

Between blanket and moon
Exhausted stars vibrate
On this excited flesh
Burning over passion
Fulfilled and expectant
Sensing an angel’s touch
From digits descending
Through heavens reflection

Pear Blossoms

A chickadee messenger warns
Of grosbeaks waiting by the feeder
In a hypothermic daze.
Late April.  Wind, rain, sleet and hail
Hasten the daffodils demise.
Now, tulips are reluctant,
Oriental poppies terrified.

With seed and wood in short supply
I try to calculate the number
Of times the hourglass must be turned
Before the pear blossoms appear.
