VOLUME 7 TABLE OF CONTENTS



DEAR NIGHTFALL

Dear nightfall, don't come alone

or let me stand here with only your tone poem

breathing savage flaws in my imperfect ears.

C'mon with your cat claws,

like a razor tongued animal

who feeds on morsels of music

and who acts entirely on impulse.

All that yesterday

when the evening spirits grooved,

you put an end to starlight, foraging for sleep

so you could write down moods worthy of print.

Now, the leaves can blush on any color,

dance and die, bowing to all those notes

you make with hand dented perfection,

complete with snarls and eating noises.
