    Let the thoughts
    that haunt us
    become flesh
    and touch
    these pages for
    my memories have
    faded with time,
    becoming dreams,
    shadowy phantasms,
    of what might
    and could have been.
    So I write.

    Welcome, dreamwalkers.

    Ringing of the Bards Poetry Carnival


    "I scry with my little eye a poetry carnival"


    Letting Go of You


    I

    This is not love, I tell him,
    while tossing the bouquet aside,
    for the love we knew could never be
    something sweet. It is
    a half dove and half wolf
    painted on blue willow porcelain.
    It is the sound of castanets
    when the vase hits the floor
    to break into the tiny pieces
    I shall place inside my shoe
    as my chosen pebble.


    II


    Mary pierces her own flesh. Pity
    the poor lawyer who defends her memory.
    He must learn to move this stone up-hill
    in a trial from Einstein's nightmare
    where he must factor in
    lapsograph-tested suicide notes,
    using the instrument of prayer
    for a miracle that will change
    his wife's last words to mean
    this isn't farewell.
