THE MAG

Magpie Tales

"The first step, shall be to lose the way." - Galway Kinnell

Dive

(Dive into the sea of thought, and find there pearls beyond price." - Moses Ibn Ezra)

She moves through breakfast tales

on slippery floors

 in old Capri, 

as the Tyrrhenian Sea

quickened, in mournful cries, 

and sea gulls flee.

From caffeine high to orange bliss

retracing last night's kiss

and marmalade dreams

spread across the length of his

back, thick as a molasses kiss,

now lit by morning's glean.

Thickened angry clouds

seen chasing evermore above this

gale's wretchedness 

stretched across the sea 

she'd surely miss

if not for curtains drawn.

Those lost stubborn pals

throughout her single years.

She'd long said her good-byes-

to spread her dreams

and never lose her way.

"That's the way it is with poetry: when it is incomprehensible it seems profound, and when you understand it, it is only ridiculous." - Galway Kinnell
