Your spirit captive ‘neath the . . .

Through the cracks in the fortress
Of ourselves, past the sentinels
We charge with our safe keeping.

Before the august dawn
And the mirror of a Walden pond,
Looks a girl upon the shining lawn-
Bouquet plucked and early donned-
Oh thin, fast reach of heaven’s yawn
Before the shadowed wood beyond . . .

I am a mystic
Born in a non-descript
Brick ranch house
On a corner lot
With a grey chain-link

on a wall
above the arched hall
He died.
Listen, she whispers, untying her apron
she can hear the holy ghost
