Sometime, between dusk and dawn,
(if I'm lucky) I can block duty
out of mind, and write
poetry... But orchestration
of a throbbing tune
strangled until night,
is like telling a trampled
rose to re-bloom.
Suffocated memory marches slowly
into now--the naked inner
melody groping blindly
through mental gauze, and always
competing against a party, or
turned up TV.
Finally, quiet conquers, and
(luck with me) as dawn downs the
night, the genesis re-emerges,
riding a ray of pale light
into poetry.
-- Delma Luben

Welcome!
The poems in this beautifully bound book are a result of over twenty years of observations. Observations of the world around us and on the telecommunications network. All of the hate, love, heroism, disasters, and those who help.
