BELLADONNA
A word that comes to mind tonight
Strolling past red paper lanterns,
Bead curtains, and Oriental carpets
In a softly lit window of a fortune-teller.
A pretty girl in white evening gown
Seated at a small round table
Awaiting the arrival of the oracle
With tears streaking down her face.
A sight the live parrot on the premises
May want to comment on from his perch,
And the devil himself display tonight
To a young monk kneeling in prayer.
ON CLOUD NINE
Most days I’m airborne.
Nights too.
One foot before the other
On a thread so thin
A spider couldn’t tell it from its own,
I promenade unseen
Over your heads.
You who are always ready
To applaud a fireman
Saving a child from a burning building,
Look up now and then
And try to catch my act.
