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

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
