"Touchy"
Artwork by Dan Williams
NOT ALONE
ALONE
Outside we open to nature
a gnome or gene
that inhabits
every hideout of history
of a votary's vacation
casts an aura
trading in our silence
hoping what we compose
in art,music or word
will withstand
annihilation
over a pallid cosmos
at our refractions
of our intellect
will live a century beyond
like ancient Virgil or Dante
not just a glow briefly
like a worm
with a luminous secret
outside of time's absence
yet we are warmed
by a smooth jazz violin
in a furious passage
on a now sober bridge
sleeping off
a late-night wine
closing in
from the last seat
in the front row
of a bad day dream,
or finding mushrooms
from a far country
with a lost spoon
of your lips
is no match
for the grinning poet
Michaux surviving
with egocentric words
in red ink surrealism
on the margins of an intro.

Where Creativity and Inspiration Evolve!
We are not:
"Epiphany A Literary Journal"
.
