He was dancing
I saw him
But when I turned
he was solid still like death
Tidy crimped in his place
On the front lawn
basking in the pale Saturday sun.

While you are sleep dreaming
a trio of shadows alights in your room
You might hear their faint chorus
a distant melody deep sweet and low
What message their voices whisper
a calm symphony or euphonious hum
Gifts they leave for discovery
light passages welcome a new day
Lift your eyes toward ceiling at dawn
imagine there cloudless quiet skies
Three shadows meet in your window
looking in looking out through you
Locket
What shall I secret now
here in this silver locket—-
a blade of green
a slip of blue
a sift of light
a gulp of river
a purple of rain
a shiver of wind
a mince of moon
a glass of joy
a flick of hope
a bar of song
a hint of soon?
What can I keep close
steadied and still—
not let go?
