UP A TREE
My inner dove
wakes me from a doze.
I find myself up a tree,
without an answer,
and what we call thought
passes in a flicker,
is waiting to be felled
like kindling.
This tree will fall
by art and aim.
I think to alight from a limb,
and if I land
in the vast
elemental sea,
pray I don't materialize
up the creek.

I especially like the "art and aim" phrase -- a great name for a blog of an eccentric little shop or gallery.
So creative! I especially like:
