Ecstatic Variations
John G. Young, M.D.
cacophony
of flowers hope
springing into green
glancing dreams
untoward memories
birds splashing
in the bath
internal trespass
after fallen bread
before prison came
in your electric
chair
before you knew
winter neglect
among friends
mermaids murmur
seaweed hair
on ancient rocks
telling small tales
soundless soundings
bubble from below
into the future
black
white
staying
execution
promise
of new life
let it come
timeless
memorial
in time
to wrap
it all up
