Darkness

Traveling Thru Darkness

the Dark Night,” The Darkness

Around Us Is Deep

Traveling thru the dark—

The Dead are calm & stoic…

About Literature and Poetry

Since Logos is their grave…

They live in our dreams—

We wonder about them

But we don’t want to know

Where they come from

_______________________

Down in some womb of time—

Inside some stoic swerve

Did we choose our Mother

And our Father’s Tree?

Are we Progeny—

That we chose to be

The secret often concealed

From each generation…

________________________

We pick our Zeitgeist—

Our bridge partners

A magic game for our

Mise-en-scene moment…

I chose Kansas City—

The Santa Fe Super Chief

Zooming me and Harper Lee

Back into Kansas Darkness…
