HALLOWEEN
(ALL SAINTS EVE)
I
Be like me,
which is to say.
be completely yourself,
which is anything but me.
Apparent contradiction
will be solved
when we find
the quarks that connect—
oh what fun
to be as one.
II
Occidental sky at dawn,
panorama of cumuli;
hiding among them
no cloud at all,
but pale moon
setting in the west,
surrounded by
a crowd of cousins.
III
As I listen to
Tchaikovsky’s
“Swan Lake
these images and icons
beg to be put in print,
and who am I to deny them?
