take a quick look
Escape
Hustling through the sky,
who knows where it goes,
this scumbled track on the move,
it has no final stop in mind,
it runs, it flows,
it escapes to another sky,
and far away,
it thins, it slows,
it fades.

filling the horizons
green, green
Green is everywhere,
it’s in the trees,
covers the ground,
it sprawls,
fills the horizons,
boasts its green-ness,
sings of life,
hums its faithful hue,
it welcomes me,
this color of joy.

say it out loud…
buttah
What is so easy about
learning an accent?
Sit down at the diner,
and hear the gent
in the next booth
ordering his meal,
and listen to him
saying “buttah” for his toast
and “buttah” for his muffin,
and so casually you think you know
his parents
and his birth place
and his region,
and his different-ness
and his limits,
and his prescribed life
and his narrow self…
He is so knowable,
but wait—
he listens when you speak…

a feast indeed!
Casserole
A plump expanse,
delicious reds,
maybe good enough to eat,
the vault is filled,
it lures the eye,
it makes a feast.

a kind of music of the spheres…
Overture
I stood awhile in prescient dark,
faint sounds of night
were near and far,
a rustling song,
a sylvan chord,
a tiny thrum,
and more—
a downbeat for the dawn to come,
scant chorus rising,
I whispered hallowed words
to make a coda,
and waited for the star of day.
January 21, 2023
Inspired by “Behind Stowe” (1927) by Elizabeth Bishop (1911-1979)

no calories added
Sweet thing
The dawn delays the day,
with layered hues
that do not fade,
the vault is cake,
with icing smears
that will not bake,
the sweet spot filled,
an overflow
of cream and gold,
the lavish spread
betokens gild.
