87. Listening for signals from other stars

87. July 28, 2010 (wed., Jaggery cd release)

The lightning-shaped shadow
a scowl makes on the side of a nose,
the glint of sunset cresting bicep.

.

Edrie dreamt Eowyn curled up with
the crepe streamers, bowtied before a party.
"It's ok, they'll think it's part of the decor!"

Sleeping tart, still life with tiny piano.
Eowyn dreamt it was raining, stained glass
inside Church of Boston. The sound surge

crackled and the block went black. Acoustic
cd release by cell phone light, lighters
and i got the last mixed Malibu bev'

when the registers went down i guided Ela,
a bellydancer (with fairy orbs)
through dark veiled forms --the candlelit ladies
room, where i blot a dark kiss
in the back of my journal.
