(if to dare and sea)

between sleep and tomorrow
where the songs blue whales
call
a rhyme between
earth dreams
and the seams of
a universe
in circle time
i sing a silent jester walk
to a quiet girl child
lost on a subway train
manhattan stain
summer san francico rain
washes
as echoes drift across
homeless defeats
soft skin on a lover's whim
deep shadows when star-light
falls upon a young woman's lips
nevada desert sand
across a mad hippie's sips
colorado mountain sky
cast upon
a boy as a man as a god
as a poet is born
winter new hampshire night
hard cold moon-light
falls
snow shadows call
alone
stands a dream
cast in silence
a scream
only heard
in the mirror of
blue whales in song
a rhyme between
