19 Nov: Poem-a-Day Challenge

cello

Chance …

is drawing a bow across strings
and hitting the right note

or finding someone
that makes you remember that you

are flesh and fire

    Flesh and Fire — wonderful imagery.

    The only poem I ever wrote was a haiku I had an alien empress write in her despair in my RITES OF PASSAGE set aboard a steamer in 1853:

    “Dreams drift like clouds

    I reach to touch the moon

    I grasp but empty night.”

    The number of syllables are off, but then she was born in another dimension — cut her some slack. 🙂
