This Kitchen Poem

 This kitchen
Soft smoke secrets
Each ghost upon the gale
Welcome here
Each breath
Rare and gifted by such drifters
Visible in smoke
Audible in flame
Never alone.

3 from Wanting To Be In The Old Tongue - by pd lyons

WORSHIP SWANS NO LONGER

When you worship swans no longer
Will you find your way to me?
Smoke rising in a breathless voice
Winding between shade and sun
A dream begun on dew drops
Daring midday like a ghost
Vowing never to fly
From your embrace

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~





LITTLE SADIE

black velvet traveller
dark morning herald
solitary secrets kept
well behind green eyes
alluded only by such offerings
as left upon our doorstep shrine.




~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~










VIRGINIA, CO. CAVAN ’98

winter wash
sails on hemp rigging
 places precious
this January sun.
strong wind, clear sailing,
a rising Tahitian blue,
fed by silver slips of memory
travelling on wings of fantasy
calling sea birds soar
above a mucky barking back yard dog.

In The Company of Woodbines by Pd Lyons





Open air
Cobble street,
Church bell rhapsody


Well worn doors
Rough stone walls
Into secret corners drift
Undisturbed as dust


Waiting the slow pour
Of a pint
