Peace, Love, and Jimi Hendrix

chagall backdrop

I lay color down
to highlight not
necessarily to enunciate.

Like a kite o’er head
in early bedtime, sparklers
and spiraled streamers.

Asleep in slow moving
breezes under bundles of coats
and warm sweaters.

In arms that hold
endless days upon piers.

Sometimes the path
is batik.

Come of Age

Boppers, then beatniks,
hippies, before we were freaks.
Now we’re just wizards.
