POEMS


Poems are friends.
They lend their rhyme and meter
to this eager scribe,
pouring out unannounced
spilling onto paper towels,
paper scraps and bags,
or maybe a hand or two
in waves...

ridden out, tunneled, navigated,
pummeled against the rocks,
and beached upon desolate docks...

Poems acting as compasses guiding ghost ships
through haunted, sunken dimensions
of wondering and wandering angst.

They're measures of synthesis,
and of stars and sea..
signaling signatures
of places unknown,
yet somehow remembered.
