Ecstatic Poetry

 

 
 
 
 
 
It feels like winter monsoons 
gutters overflow into 
little lakes 
David and I pedal through the 
flooded streets 
a few streaks of blue 
on the horizon are a 
welcome sight 
 
I wish for a bit of pink 
somewhere 
perhaps a pink spoonbill 
soaring through the gray 
or a pink swan floating 
on the swollen swail....

All in all
We are grateful for a break 
in the incessant downpours 
 
a long black cloud resembling a 
train treks across my path 
and I start humming an 
old Crosby, Stills and Nash song:
 
"Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express?
Would you know we're riding on the Marrakesh Express?
They're taking me to Marrakesh
All aboard the train, all aboard the train"

I laugh and try to catch up to 
David's daddy long legs 
cycling down Perry Street

What a wonderful poem about a wonderful outing in the rain soaked streets. Crosby Stills and Nash were perhaps the best harmonizers of their time and songs like, The Marrakesh Express, still resonate today. Making beautiful what some would call a bad day.

I love it and our earth, too.

Ron
