Unreachable
(…tribute to fellow poet, David Brian Williams)
Silence pervades
Potomac passions
And strangers cast
Faces without smiles
Distinctively set
As stone
To the wind.
I am unreachable.
Seats of power
Sway right to left
From red to blue;
An acrostic truth
Emerges off-center after
Two winters returned from
Sandy shores and blazing sea.
I am unreachable.
Muses nurse nightmares
And entreat
Favorable and ill phantasms
In a nocturne strung
Until the end of time;
Heart is strong,
Love is a diligent pain.
I am unreachable.
A poet dies and earth is pleased to consume.
Winter warms to a soul whirling
In brand new shoes… and wings.
Holy day is a lowly day
To hear black bird songs,
And heal in solitude while foxes
Go on nightly runs.
I am unreachable
In ameliorated chambers
For a time simple love strolls in unknown;
Pasted away warriors
Haunt battlefields,
Tap the edge of night,
And carry love letters
Lipstick kissed and slightly burned.
I am unreachable
