IMAGINE
Imagine to be a bird
slicing air with wings.
Up
up over that horizon
soaring through clouds
away from solemn earth.
Shining, shimmering
far above this sphere
into clear blue light.
Cutting through sky
gliding over oceans
eyes open all seeing.
Awake all day all night
brushing rushing
against the four winds.
Imagine to be a bird.
FALLING ASLEEP
Curling
into a
question mark
eyes shuttered
lips pursed
hands empty.
Dropping through
long dusty shafts
down into
dank cellars.
Leaving behind
faded day.
That last cup
of sunlight
pouring from
fingertips.
Lulled by
rattling trains,
sighs of motors.
Bringing nothing
but memory
into night.
Now I will
untie knots
tear off
wrappings
opening wide
bundles of dreams.
Joan McNerney, Rabena, New York
