Pen
The night slides
into a satin slipper
hiding unfortunate barrels
of old age with grace
in its darkness...
Late evening meanders
throughout catacombs
(willows wait under
amber glint of the moon)
by satin slipper of night.
A lark sends messages
into deep tentacles,
perceptions of New England
countryside as
I think of my mother's pen
filled with innuendo
and craft, nuances
of character and poise
the soul of a dragon.
