When A Verse Tells A Tale
dear john letter
caught in the railing
icy water below
When A Verse Tells A Tale
dear john letter
caught in the railing
icy water below
no footstep in the hall
the dull tick of the clock
sleep but no rest
When I cried alone
in the darkness of my night
You called my name
must I go alone
through this strange mist of malaise
searching for the sun
come here kitten
on my lap — rumble away
this deep blue fog
dark world
nothing good to be seen
he pulls the plug
the old barn fell last night
today the swallows sit
in silent grief
in my lonely night
the full moon does double duty
to lighten my gloom
one small cloud
hooked on the horn of the new moon
why can’t I let go?
fires of fury
hot rocks spew from deep anguish
words of lava flow
