On my Way...to Meet the Macaw!

On my Way...to Meet the Macaw!
My pastel moods
"Some murmur, when their sky is clear

And wholly bright to view

If one small speck of dark appear

In their great heaven of blue:....."

-Trench

...Women are fastidious, and now you know a bit about me.


THE ONLY LONELY

THE ONLY LONELY
"Deserted at his utmost need,
By those his former bounty fed;
On the bare earth exposed he lies,
With not a friend to close his eyes."

- Dryden.

being your "IF"

If I wear water,                                     
If I drink from dusk,
If I cut my lock,
And enchant the flinty musk;
If I pour like rain,
in parts yet to drain
out in this sea of subterfuge,
Could You tell me, Who would I be,
Brown or grey, faint or Huge?
If I wade
out of stale sleep,
and on your shoulder as I keep,
My fluttering wings,
spluttering buzz deep;
Would You not 
head to north,
And pet me like 
that geisha moth?
I dine with thine
on gasps of playful time,
at an edge of night,
an edge of day,
Then you say
you hit a hump,
And why do I neigh?
Get me water, Get me sky,
For I do no more rely
on the pylon
that inside me resides,
kindling prisms of ebony.
I want to take after those,
that light- house,
this sugar- cube,
that into your tea goes,
And tastes of pristine dew.
I am waiting, I am wanting,
Am I willing,
to seclude wilderness?
For if my 'if'
Dies of "IF",
Will an Other,
I create!
