A Symphony of Memory and Change
The table is ink,
serviettes o lyrical gymnasts,
the barmaid is queen moon—
sharks observed from quarter light.
The majorette sweating
dream, amorino breathing tattoos.
Floating
head in xenon lamp,
trussed arch night
and Andromeda.
In a corridor,
a muse erupts.
A stylus of solid perfume
paints a tavern,
triakis
and pentacrinus, loving so much.
Haiku
1.
decrescendo drunk,
mystical, tender graces,
breaths—our dreams dovetail.
2.
lithographic flowers
enhance the room—the radio
is air’s carpentry.
