how does the shadow fall on the rose
without it breaking
does anyone know
has anyone weighed this against all circumstance
chance that can come to any one of us
who are roses too in our way
stars in a manner of speaking mottled yet shining.
this bit of clay we are with God imbued
oh that we would resolve melt into dew
poor Hamlet cried.
but here we are in our rose rationales
still living.
of such fragility a gust of wind could kill us.
but it hasn't yet.

Safe Passage
where inwardness fell away
we will come back to stay
recovering the shards of beauty
the Ice Queen broke that day
revoking the puzzle
and the wayward star
the waste of waste of what you are
stepping through the rancour and the strife
into the green
tne mint breathed, sweeter life,
the end of agon.
the heart arising.
the passage no more sought.

Stress Will Find You
stress will find you where you are
even on a shooting star
even when your shades are drawn
even when you mow the lawn.
try to flee it and you'll see
sorting ashes from the peas
on a deadline from the fairy
when you're weary
even wary
even in a storybook
making wishes;
talking fishes
on the hook
even in your breakfast nook.
just accept it
and go on.
that's the short of it,
and the long.

It Was A Kind Of Story
it was a kind of story I was telling
to you in a blue mothed summer
on the stoop of a summerhouse
we wanted to live in
we were five and three
a little house
with pale green curtains
where we could eat pretend strawberries every day
and play, even in deep winter
and dream there were December roses
and the Christ child in our room
where we sang softly a glass bell tune
lest he should awake
and you sang the star, the star
and plinked on your baby piano
with the coloured keys
and plinked and it really was Christmas
and evergreen
we wanted it to stay evergreen forever
and when I think of it,
it did.

The Ghost Of My Song
to Walter De La Mare
in the slender goodbyes like these
ice breaking the trees
the furtive gleam on the pond
while the moon drifts glimmering on
whether it's then or now
it still feels the same somehow
new mist or old
the chill in the soul
in frost or in rime
the barter for time
still shimmering on
the ghost of my song.

For Harold Bloom A Valediction Of Sorts
[music: Requiem, Gabriel Faure;Fanfare for the Common Man, Aaron Copeland...]
the maps to the poems have been lost! the king cried out in his sleep his sleep was worn quite through
and cried in unison his royal shadows from the errant castle no longer that distinct- but doomed
to a strange obsolescence.never cried the Knight! till his last breath countering
the murky stream while dark angels proclaimed:
now you will weep no longer knowing why and the blizzards lock you out of the lace works.
but I stood still in the clouded woods waiting for the vagaries to arrive, shaking their pearled manes-
did he exclaim? and did I realize
or put another way, as all things will be, someday: I have come to this courtyard mused the merchant
to this particular courtyard and no other to the wild rose hedge glow in the snows
soothed the Invisible(auditor of all fairy tales then) .
pluck the rose and Beauty regardless of this at home may go on to lead her ordinary ordinary life though
somewhere the silver bells peal out in ordinary time with a difference,
and cried in unison his royal shadows from the errant castle no longer that distinct- but doomed
to a strange obsolescence.never cried the Knight! till his last breath countering

somewhere the silver bells peal out in ordinary time with a difference,
some are called out of the world to enjewel God the works of God, of man written under duress against the exile
of loveliness
or at least,leaving the ornate calendars behind-supping on cabbage soup, dark bread.oh but he's a jewel all on his own
I said (knowing that I remember the silver names of God and stand unshod on an
uncomprehending plain as if to say, I remember light when all is night and
we had lost our medieval way; tearful, not even hand in hand laid rail to rail in a fractured land
that Beauty may float over us still,in the kingdoms of our sleep)

I Want To Be In A Beautiful Place
I want to be in a beautiful place.
with high ceilings and gilded domes
clouds painted on the ceiling
beneficent angels.
a room with a harp invisibly playing.
a playroom with the Ark
all the animals there in hand painted wood.
there would be no flood.
all the animals would fit.
the clouds would seem so real
in the vast blue and teal
I would hear my sister playing Chopin
and we would remember plotting to do good
such a long time ago
in a house of rose brick
a rose garden in the back
a kitchen drawer full of seed packets,
birthday candles, tacks.
I'd like to go there too.
and visit the Holy Ghost
the first green whispering of it.
and hear my Mama sing such Celtic songs.
while we learned the difference
between right and wrong.of false stops and new starts.
that we could dream of limitless things
and this, then, was Art.

How You Must Have Felt (Song for Sharon Douglas, My Sister)
how you must have felt
when the raids came through
and no one there to comfort you
in the war zone too.
how you must have felt
at the break of day
when the sky could only
turn to grey
and no one there
to hear you say
alas my heart
has gone away
has gone away.
to a place where flowers, hills
remain
and there's nothing left to be explained
just a firefly startled into star
and a wish for you
though from afar
a wish for you--
though from afar.

Crashing
how often when I crash through the nets
that are supposed to be there
I think to myself, well at least
at this very moment I am flying
through the air since plummeting
is a form of flight until
it's not
and that has comforted me a lot
at various circuses
over time
and made a kind of life
instant to instant
so that I am unaware almost
of any reason to despair
since some instants
last a spangled lifetime.

Sublimities (To Harold Bloom)
For Harold Bloom d. October 14 2019
sublimities of the pearl encrusted tales
mermaid like, the foam on the waves
of my disappearing, reappearing
fishtailed soul
and of the Leviathan
on the horizon of the page
the underwater of the words
murmuring almost the music of shade
the shade where the baby played
in the afternoon and was told stories
wynken and blynken the map of dreamings
the off the edge of consciousness sailing
to wake to the light spinning mobile
above the magic crib
pen nibs at New Year
water color sets and painting
sunsets and the dawns rosegold
we will never grow old we will
read the stars as if they were Braille
time will fail us reading this yet God cannot
help but lead us in pastures of the
fairy chronicles the beginning not the end
there is no end
in happy ever after.
in the evergreen understandings
the snowy covenants
up all night
resilient and bright
imagination's candle
sounding it all out till daylight till
the first lovely sentence of my starry soul.
