ONE A.M. WALK      

   
one a m    
     
the night lay    
     
quiet and still    
     
as i stepped outside  
     
into its silk    
     
my restlessness    
     
listened    
     
to get its fill    
     
of what the day    
     
could not    
     
provide    
     
the depth and clarity    
     
of a slate  black    
     
sky    
     
and the zen like    
     
stare    
     
crisp  white eye    
     
of a quarter    
     
moon    
     
hanging there    
     
magritte like    
     
in the east    
     
smiling down    
     
upon me here
     
as i walk out    
     
into the depths    
     
of it s mysterious

late night s
     
nocturnal unfoldment    
   
all by myself    
     
alone    
     
but hopefully    
     
not for  
     
too much
 
longer
 
with any luck
 
at all
 
and the
 
mystical  magical
 
luminous spell
 
from the
 
zen like stare
 
crisp  white eye
 
of this  
 
quarter moon
 
still hanging here
 
now just    
 
a little higher
 
up above me
 
magritte like
 
in the east
 
smiling down
 
upon me
 
as i walk out
 
into the
 
cold  calm
 
peaceful still
 
of it s flowing
 
dreamtime silk
 
my restlessness    
     
keeps listening
     
to get its fill    
     
of what the day    
     
could not    
     
provide    
     
the depth and clarity    
     
of a slate  black    
     
sky    
     
and the zen like    
     
stare    
     
crisp  white eye    
     
of this quarter    
     
moon    
     
hanging there    
     
magritte like    
     
in the east    
     
still smiling down    
     
upon me
 
here
