Siren Song
if not for the shadow
be there a light?
where do poems come from
if not dreams remembered
from untamed floors of Jacob's sleep
swept and varnished
into hard gem-like memory
crystallized rock of ages
singing mermaid songs
gathering
into brilliant dust
to be seen
the price of comfort
a stone's throw into
circles of being
flowing
into the Sargasso Sea
like amazing grace

No darlin' remind me, did you
No darlin' remind me, did you ever see Jacob's Ladder? http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0099871/
20 years already? I think I have a few books of poems just on mermaids, jacob ladder, dreams,
walls, floors, and the Sargasso Sea.

These actually make me think
These actually make me think they would work so well as vignettes, each separate but part of a whole.
