Woman of the NIght

By night a moonlit maiden

Weaving her web under moon-mottled sky

Swimming in the milky white

Of Diana’s lustrous lunar light

Incandescent on Cimmerian sand

And La Mer’s cloth in her trembling hand

She tempts the tide with only her look

And guides the starlight

That few men partook

She, glowing soft behind heavy hung cloud

Moves as a shadow in mystery shroud

Sibylline Dream

i dreamt a flower

before my feet

pale white it blossomed

delicately

i dreamt on oak tree

mossy and free

its cool leaves shimmied

delicately

i dreamt the ocean

the briny sea

it glistened dark and

delicately

i dreamt i was them

these miracles three

flower and ocean

and mossy tree

and as i dreamt them

so they dreamt me

we dreamt one another

delicately
