In Another Life

be brush’d away
a blizzard of dust
smothering the walls
of Babylon’s forest

from out of the fading fog
a face
a gaze

entrancing
familiar
intimate
all with my soul
all… in the Now

how I pretend hard
to want to believe
her peer was for me
She… even back Then

Snow Moon

caress midnight’s ivory portal
gentle shadow of my fingertips
her frozen spirit kindl’d to flow
from th’ ebon luster of my lips

till the canopy of my soul
embraces her wholly
sweltering our love
to a frosty florid pearl

so be born Spring

fancy
your eyes
your nose
your ears
the wind in your face
your home security system
for a nervous meal
for some pre-rem shut eye

the fear fueling your feet
your mind’s rear view mirror
in prayer against the preyer
whose victory would buy
an enjoyable feast
an enjoyable slumber
or worse
your eyes
your nose
your ears
on a senseless wall

Morning opens her eyes,
kisses the cold cheeks
of sleeping bouquets,
who yawn and stretch their emerald
petals and shower prismatic
pollen upon granitic
angels, their morning breakfast
of sharing last night’s dreams,
until the first knee
genuflects before them
and asks forgiveness

a hundred million years
from now
will mankind 
move to other worlds
or fade away
entirely

if so
by then
it might be my turn
to walk
upright
