Claramarie Burns
arriving, destination unknown
trumpet trembles high note
catastrophe : averted
                              is this where we get off?
               stop requested
                                      old energies
wait   no hurry
                                       pause
                     play
               here we go   & fly
OK
sequence of monsters
                              benign / otherwise
play of light
                             remember / expect / see
shift of light in leaves in breeze
late winter early spring this memory / expectation /
                              vision
                                        fantastic unread dreamed
wait for it.
