Disasters, Delights and Other Detours - 22. Four Varied Skyscrapers
One.
Intimate
details' descriptions aren't
needed to understand firmly our
magic connection, a bond we established the
moment our wandering eyes met that
marvelous evening you
danced to me.
Two.
Why is it
when I write a blessing
each word in the dictionary flees?
They hide under shrubs and run into deep thickets
where shadows and thorns obscure my view,
and beguiling birds sing
sweet love songs.
Three.
I exist
halfway twixt truth and myth,
between the magical and the mundane;
a high, clear vantage point for the storyteller,
but an inhospitable dwelling
with no walls and many
wide windows.
Four.
In a mood
to confess my misdeeds,
I bend my head and recount each wrong;
my transgressions make my heart and hand heavier,
fingers fumbling with faulted phrases
for trouble and trespass
and pardon.
