“plug me in!”
he’d shout
cuddle me in
to power and heat
listen to the tunes
feel the waves
find rest
your conduit
link to the stars
tide of the moon
your energy key.

Fireworks
by Rebecca Kai Dotlich
Emerald glitter
fills the sky;
a thousand dashing
dragon eyes
sparkle! flash!
spiral,
climb —
leaping,
leaving Earth
behind.
Roman candles
sizzle,
shatter,
diamonds dazzle,
rubies
scatter,
spilling silver
stars of fire–
blasting bits
of copper wire.
Sapphires crumble
in the sky,
tinsel tumbles
down to die,
onto city streets
and roads;
CRACKLE–
POP!
The sky
explodes!

I’d like to thank Amy for giving me permission to post a poem from FOREST HAS A SONG today.
Mommy, I’m scared to be this high.
All owls are scared on their first try.
My tail feathers feel so tingly with fear.
You can do it. Calm down. Careful now. Steer.
I can’t see a thing through all this black.
Just go to Spruce and come right back.
FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP–WHOOOSH!
FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP FLAP–SWOOOSH!
Look, Mom! I made it! Wow! I can fly!
I knew you could. You were born for sky.

Went to Albany Med for a biopsy.
Lost in the Infinite Hallways.
Chaplin befriends me on the elevator.
Holds my hand for 30 minutes on the way to Radiology.
Forgot the paper script.
They found me electronically.
Soul found home.
Thyroid found needle.
Ears heard doctor.
Heart found hope.
Angels held me fast
As always.

The Soul Selects Her Own Society
by Emily Dickinson 1830 – 1886
The soul selects her own society
Then — shuts the Door —
To her divine Majority —
Present no more —
Unmoved — she notes the Chariots — pausing —
At her low Gate —
Unmoved — an Emperor be kneeling
Upon her Mat —
I’ve known her — from an ample nation —
Choose One —
Then — close the Valves of her attention —
Like Stone —
1862

the call on land-line
switches to voice mail;
then
quickly rings on iPhone.
50 year old friend
waxes strong;
plans a picnic @ the Bay
in the shade:
hot dog memories
marshmallow tid-bits
sweet wine swallows
bitter sweet memories
adventures in the sand.
Must be the fourth of July!
