Airstream, Buckeye Road

Scottish deerhound dreams
Warm morning Moorland field run
Gypsy women laugh

White squalls cuff the beach
Winds pausing for a small girl
Caught between giggles

River of time flows
Flotsam and litter drift by
Pages in a book

Azure majesties
Regal zinnias hold court
Tongue tied phlox demur

Pellucid waters
Cool splashing springs weave a stream
That quick runs away

Young doe's hooves pointing
Tips knowing which way to turn
Into thicket shade

Oblique moonbeams heap
Mixed snowslipped quilt of birch leaves
On the scarecrow's feet

George Shiras III,
Lake Superior, 1893

Galaxie NGC-253, 1973

Dreams of a cool sun
That shines hot in a mirror
Which star is most real

Ashen penumbra
Hung in a mind's dark closet
Lit with synapses

Spherical balloons
Erotics of memory
Heaving to safe port

Old days beget nights
Dusk seized in birth labor pangs
Swarthy sorcery
