You’ve awakened me,
yet still evade my fingers.
I feel. It’s a sign.

This Haiku: 1000 Droplets
Heat Storm
While shopping for shoes I shouldn’t have been
Shoes too fancy for anything in these parts
An omen -I mean, a song- wafted on and on overhead
Music too loud as usual, but it caught my conscience
I could barely make out the words, as airily whispered as they were
Some friend apologizing to another for the weather or for using much too much
Electricity
Conductor
Where might I stand to be sheltered from safety
Danger is dancing on the horizon tonight and I dare you to say whether it’s dawn or twilight
I tell it to teach me the good trails to take
The Secret trails to take
Where, when I weave and travel as danger does now, others stare and plead “take me too”
And if they’ve truly electric in their veins, then I can
We’ll go and we’ll stay
And we’ll dance
We’ll teach and we’ll weave
While we travel
Far East at First
You Name This
I plan to conduct an experiment
And I hypothesize
That I can conduct The symphony
Of music to the skies
After which, I’ll conduct The lightening
-its electric gaze I’ll hold
Conduct then I will The interview
Of a soul centuries old
The music, The lightening, The interviewee
They function together as one
Can you imagine the final scene
As they masterfully come undone
