bookend dream in motion
or 'trying to understand myself'


Reaching hands, air rushing
grasping fingers, skyhooks

hands, bookend the arms
how did i get to be
this far off the ground?


t
he browns of the earth
mingle, moisten

stream one rush of grain through my fingers
one in a million, immediate summer

bright eyed falling blossoms
ever pass in a paling view
summer fondles the restless mind
and speaks true of peaceful spaces
quiet isolated water places

gentle wordlings sound pretty on my ear
the little bright bells jangling free
deep within our cryptic pockets
and sorrow paws the balled handkerchiefs
crying stain in a corner, embracing seam

songs hang weeping, silent as a cloudless sky
petal eyes peeking through
criss-crosses in will-o-whip crowns

today, on her birthday
i watched them roll up
their glittered lace-trims
