dulcimer creek

dulcimer memory necklace
creek eats the shore
then spews it back
clad in fern

*

you hair started wars as blackened july combed the theatre

*

under shimmering blasts,
deeper tones of chanting menace

*

secrets flash you unawares
displaying overcoat linings
hung with their wares

*

language small and strong

immense yet delicate

*

and love seems to exist......to pull
its own plug

*

in event of any event
call the supervisor's eventual
bluff

*

stuffed and fluffed the pilgrims
neatly sank their boat
while still in the drivethru

*

ridiculous is preferred
to the opinions deferred
when idiots confer

*

all at once
clapping hand
laughs to shake
form of yer aura

*

islands, meals of gemstones,
family plus solitude , gallons of kissies,

grains of sand
in a dreamstream
