| Tree Across The Street Today |
another what day!
anticipation
since the bud gooey yesterday
today found full-formed two iris hands
bow to kiss lips over golden chins
my apple crunches breakfast tart
and sweetens morning
on a branch
a mockingbird makes a new noise
don't know those sounds-- almost
like the whir of fans or starting up
my new red car's motor and
off to meet very old friends
trilling heart to Tchaihovsky's violin
Pinchas playing concerto with Israeli
orchestrating my day as I find them
restaurant happy fills word by history and
many by mixed up with jobs and dogs
children in swimming pools moving
where? Arkansas & fixing up
served with salad and quiche
again the new car honks and waving
bye --the music moves to Bobby Hackett
I'll Be Seeing You as I get home the
afternoon filters poetry of my current
float light and soft shadows
thinking fluttery about how
or maybe tomorrow's an envelope
color-wrapped of then, but tastes
of now waiting for the transparent
texture of next

I agree, the ricness of the lines and images kept a smile on my face the entire read. and I am a sucker for trees. Love the photo.
ReplyDeleteSuch a lovely flow and cadence and CLOSE. These last couple of lines really summed it up so beautifully. K.
ReplyDeleteStream of consciousness pulling together such variegated strands of experience. Textured with bursts of sensory insight along with descriptive narrative. I like where this is going.
ReplyDeleteI know exactly what you mean...that sound that mockingbirds meant. Charles stole my idea: stream of consciousness thinking. Just wonderful, Gay. Thanks for your help with comments.
