We Were Swans Dreaming
I wanted you to turn around
but you walked away,
you turned the corner
and disappeared before
I knew your face--the
lines wrinkling your brows
adjacent to
the steel hammer of your eyes
as you broke into laughter
yawning into the rain.
I wanted to feel
the way you wrote your poems
with the left side of your heart
I wanted to hear them all
but the wind wrapped them
up with total darkness,
it was all more than
a dream.

always
there arrive
words
poetry just not like the flow
a magic show
a power place
a memory aloft
and floating
the mirage to keep
This IS one of them
Thank You for your words

Swans....
In the late eighties I took a photo Black and white
of a swan on a river
I loved THE SWANS music Love will tear us apart..
I love the BLACK SWAN movie
Kailashana
We drove through the hard farm limits of OHIO
back in 1986/87
oh to live there
but here I am in North Bay Ontario
I loved the rivers
surging beneath the ironwork of steel
the tail fins of aircraft from the airports
and runways
american style
swans on rivers
