another episode

today at the swamp
a huge bird
took off from
a lily pad
and eclipsed the sun

a childs laughter
echoed across the pond
through the vegetation
intermingled with
the soft rush of waves
from the swans flight

later the sorceress
gossiped about my
invisible presence
her words were painted
on the air in red

today

the sun
drips down
thick as honey

the green
landscape
unreal

crows fly
like
nightmares

across
the
blue sky

from
telephone
wires

to
distant
mountains

alcohol
melted time
yesterday

the clouds
look
like smoke

memories
haunt
me

even
this
moment
