Evocative
12-30-15

To gather silver and gold and peculiar treasure
For a special people
For vanity in simple pleasure
As the height of the steeple
Increasing more than all before me
In Jerusalem forty minutes to spare
Must needs pass through Samaria
In the crannies of a grove
No more caffeine please
I don't want to wear it out
Nor begin to loathe the thing I think to love the most
To elicit and draw forth
To solicit and keep putting it out there
To suggest through artistry, to call up
To evoke and to blow smoke....




In A Scent (Innocent)
12-30-15

At seven on the dot
My cat is howling at spirits
Or something I could not see for myself
For echoes of the Broadway Everglades
For workmanship quality and effect
And a new president to elect
Past ones prime
Look over the hill
As one to pop my little pink pill
Optimistic and sanguine
With a half an hour to spare
For bloodroot and its medicinal rhizome
Twelve hours conscious
What can I make of such
And the contention was so sharp between them
Still walking looking through rose colored lenses
There's no ship sailing....
