140 Saturn dreams

See how we change at fall of night;
You in your silvered rings all bright
Celestial light while I,
Called to despair,
Saw Saturn dying there

April - NaPoWriMo - 6

On keeping a picture of my dog as a screensaver. Desktop, the screen- Saver, it seems Alright. She used to wait; Me typing; her fate My plight. Face turned away; Eyes turned; they say Goodbye. Why do I keep Her picture? See, Still mine. Look in her eyes— Still black and white, Still shine. Memories can’t feel Memories can’t steal The time. Image refreshed Background redressed Hey there. Dark against light Dream against night Not fair. Can’t hear her paws Can’t see her—pause— Not there. Can’t feel her fur Watching her stir Aware. Till one last time, One last sad line, Despair. Desktop: The screen Saver still seems alright. Written for ReadWritePoem #6, converse with images

Childhood ends when your thumbs turn green. The broken window’s outside the house And shadows fill the rooms But a mouse is hiding underneath geranium blooms And the stadium roars for victories unseen. I think if I pretend I’m inside I’ll see the toys and games and realize That nothing’s changed. Old lady sits in her chair and knits While carrots and turnips and climbing frames Slide through her dreams. Written for ReadWritePoem # 12 - nonsense sentence secret code
