More from ~An-Mochi

On Snow            It is a dark and stormy evening—or at least according to the BBC, it is supposed to be.  Somewhere, it probably is; but tonight in Winters it merely snows, dusting the grass in soft crystals and bathing the whole wood in an unearthly shade of silence.

            It is a warmer night than most, which means that the snow is sticky and wet. It clings to everything, including you, the adolescent boy by the gate that starts when the silence is broken by the damp, heavy thump of a tumbling mass of snow
On FlowersPerhaps
I am the bud of the white lily
That never will bloom.
But then, how is it certain
That my lily is white?

Perhaps
I am the bud of the orange lily
In a field of the whitest silk.
Or, afloat in a sea of orchids
My vermillion wings, a beacon
An island.

Perhaps
I am the bud of a black lily
In a field of all the hues.

Perhaps
I am the blossom of the white lily
In a field of the same.
My skirts will unfold just the same
My soft green slip unravel just the same
My cool yellow legs warm in the sun
To attract the honeybees to my sweet nectar.

Perhaps
I am the frog, emerging damp and cool
From the bud of a lily

Up past the supermarket.

About yea high--not high at all
For you see, the moon is here.

Dogs stopped, children stared
No up-growns asked me why.

It takes one certain vim
A certain will-to-do
To create vast kingdoms from a crayon
And rule it fairly, too.

And if pose the question me did one,
'Mean what by you
So able to
Soar up in blue,
I argue you!
I'll have the coppers to you glue
The fine Earth you scorn'

I'll me keep gliding
About yea high
And laugh and laugh and sing him
'But then my friend

TravelersA good idea spreads like
        a family name.

One day, it will pack up and
        through Carbon or India
Embark from the cerebral port of its origin and venture away
Out into the world to make its fortune          all its worldly possessions
        what it can carry in its bindle.
