From a Silk Hat


Sometimes I pull these poems

out of the hat of my heart—

 

black coffee, moonlight,

a silver-tipped spear.

 

Take what you will of them,

they’re mine to give—all or none. 

 

Like this one.

Darling rabbit, unfrantic, and

 

soul-bounce away, less fretful

of time’s sand already swept away

 

by gravity through finger-roots,

filling up the bottom

 

of the hourglass.  Now see this.

New soil.

 

Lift, flip,

start again.
