Magic Realism

it sounded like a river
but it was only boiling water
with 4 vegetarian-fed eggs inside
and there was a new blanket of snow outside
and his legs felt cold
but the warm, delicious coffee was inside
a golden cup.

BLESSEDNESS BEFORE DAWN

to express
thoughts clearly
with beauty and brevity
like the daisy and butterfly
like the moon and beautiful sky

Dedicated to Sandy Leeds

My lady was from the East
And on carrots she did Feast,

Light as a bird her feet would Tread,
But grace and smile did not Dread.

She gave me one kiss and did Depart,
And said to me,"Take care of your Heart."
