Poem Artwork

In greenest field
was a wooden willow weeping
all brown and fallen down
save a single strand
of olive-colored blossom.

Fate now set, sealed,
her last solemn vigil keeping, 
she held close treasured crown
until, extending hand,    
she beckoned to me, “Child, come.”

My mind spun, reeled.
Fin’lly, I ran forward leaping
in netted, fleece-white gown,
but disappeared in sand,
woke up sinking, drinking rum.
