Magic and Mayhem




Rooms may be
using us.  We
may be the agents
of doorknobs'
purposes, obeying
imperatives china
dreams up or
pacing dimensions
determined by
cabinets.  And if
we're their instruments-
the valves of their
furious trumpets,
conscripted but
ignorant of it-
the strange, unaccountable
things we betray
were never our secrets
anyway.

  2. Awesome piece! Love the vibe of this: gives me chills it's so delicious! Of course anything to do with magic and mayhem will perk me right up. Hadn't seen this Kay Ryan poem before. Love it! Yes, we are on the same wavelength right now. ;)

  3. Ah,bright and dark! the very essence of magic!
    Richly layered and not quite readable--like mysterious incantations.
    Wonderful!
