Frost in late Fall on a back yard garden.
The neon morning blue light causes my eye veins
to constrict as I look out the kitchen
window. The coffee pot's breathy gurgle is
crescendoing in the background.
The back yard is cool and moist, waking
my skin and eyes. Kites and bright yellow and
orange tent walls flash by on a silver day
after rain. Also a few strobes of being in a large
ski vest of that material, then back to a warm sweater.
I notice a large plane wing sticking
proudly out of the ground in the far right
side by two old trees. It is silver and slightly
corrugated like the Spirit of St. Louis.
An exaggerated robot shark fin, the ground snug
around it like it's been there since the
summer of the Bicentennial year. I brush my hand
over its charged cold smoothness.
Ghost Flash Movies.
Briefly while in my car in early evening
during an electrical storm with heavy rain there is
silver. My energy and my cars cold energy
are all known in one mammoth x-ray punch,
while the radio makes a miniature splash
explosion of static.
Silver skeletons and elephants behind an
ice blue sky. Silver-filled father's eyes, head back
slow. He's smiling. Three metallic discs
fly over the house. Silver beads shake into palms
by an incensed temple.
Leaded Moon ice chains on shadow-colored
idol plaster grin in children's dreams of
intricate white metal carriage wheels,
apples, warm green yards. Snow coal Moon beach
where frozen vapor sheets lie still. Stones
shudder as old souls ricochet off their drum
farther, deeper into space.
