AMAZE
J.E. Stanley


Origami

Paper
crane after crane
tossed into the bonfire
Come dawn, they take flight - and eclipse
the sun

from Sketchbook, October 2007

 

Wayfaring Pilgrim
for guitarist Roy Buchanan

Steel strings,
bent just enough
to reach the blue-hazed moods
between the notes, the cobalt tones
of dusk.

 

The View from Alcatraz

In time,
San Francisco's
skyline will fade away.
This island, these bars, will become
the world.
