editor’s note
Eyes
wide open
T
HE water for coffee is heating. The
air conditioner is a steady hum.
The night hums, too. With you
dreaming and mine, and a fat moon
above us all. I pinch myself to stay awake. Talk
to myself and you. I make with eyes and hands
that rhyme, rulers and scissors and tools precise
enough to chart a course for the moon.
Its symbols are obvious; its lines are straight.
I pay attention to the details. I swim and splash
in them.
A labor; yes a joy to understand these pages
better than anyone - by missteps and a voice
so deepening, mellowing, discovering its own
hidden resonance.
