Bi-planes above us under
low-blue ceiling, I wonder
if they’re from our time.

Endless possibility filled the moment
(which happened to be morning) sun
baked me dry and timeless so I became
one with the sky so far
above the ground I hover, delight
in my self now not at all
sad to lose it.

Not a parent nor a prince,
neither president or king,
ones lover not-self
but God.

The stones I leave at the gate
can be used to trace new paths
or bar access to the existing.

with faces eternally
upturned to grace,

in starlight wan

The doctor says she sees Q-Waves
there on my EKG, usually a sign
something bad has happened
to one’s heart. I tell her that
they’re probably there to say hello
to that day you went away. Now may I
put my blouse on?

Sung by birds who’ll soon perish

How creative the moment it constellates
like stars in time set off little flares
I’m awake I’m awake I’m alive!
against real sky in reel time. Let’s!
you and I do jigs on the dance floor
wave our flames high in the air
We’re awake, we’re alive!
