EVERYTHING'S BUILT IN with an Edward Hopper. Thanks to Tess for this presentation for Magpie Tales #77.
DREAM GIRL
So you're taking a road
that's less fractured,
no weeds,
just sweet blossoms
from Aphrodite's garden
blowing cheap perfume
into your dreams.
How far will I fall,
without dawn in your grip?
Can I find a link
to another hero
who's learned to sweat
at five in the morning?
Pull down your canvas sack,
don't forget the honeyed words.
Grind them under your heel
with the half smoked illusions.
Pack them up.
Then embrace the smolder
till a new genie takes form,
and gargoyles at the window
giggle at your good fortune.
