To The New Ray Bradbury Review I Just Found Out About Yesterday

the first month in the New Year
we knew this was going to be a  crackling good one
bringing the dandelion wine up from a certain basement


from The New Ray Bradbury Review
the dandelions called home
their seeds reconnoitered


back to their constellations, white and gold
law and order not among the crab apple trees
but character amid the circuses


a little molten honey from the beekeeper


reprieved;


again the green diffusions from the window shades


and canyon mirages overstaying their welcome
look at that he says and disappears.


popping up again in alternate years, issues with
a half cheese sandwich filed under "c"


fragments of stories from the diffident cabinets
the old jester


Jack in the box here's another one


in huckleberry shadows half begun
or the folios of fragrance from blue hills
a few bills overdue marked paid


and juxtaposed do you suppose
the rivers can run backwards


in the shade of Song
the Shade remarking "Present


and accounted for".


try to understand.
its like finding gold
when the Mine is no more.
