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

 

wi(n)dow

into the future

black

white

staying

execution

promise

of new life

let it come

timeless

memorial

in time

to wrap

it all up
