Alley of the Lost
o’er the Bermuda Sea
opes randomly
a triangular doorway
its guests transmit’d
on a one-way ticket
to an unseen mystery
while failures of hi-tech
continue to enhance
the myth… or its veracity
Koi in Looking Glass
so many
Jewels of Power
streaming
in dancing shadows
of land and sky
but only one
Dragon of Good Fortune
rising
where rainbows prism peaks
of clashing cascades
Nessie of Anaaski
relative or hoax
of Columba’s miracle?
more tricks on our eyes?
Themis
some might see
should want to see
a Yesterday
as She did today
a pebble lighting
upon a sleeping pond
a ripple wading
to the shores
of reason
of marvelment
of sav’d optimism
songs of fair skies
of fresh faces of love
for her own Tomorrow
unicorn eclipse
among Heaven’s eyes
might a Child see a Pony
whose Horn hears his Wish
Giiwas
love’s rejection
shaman sacrifices
seeds of war—
when spirit of Sky
drown’d the fires
of Underworld’s god—
that Mazama might hatch
from its mountain cocoon
and be reborn into purity—
into Crater Lake
