Samuel Delaney
stands on Arapahoe
side of the street in front of
Naropa University
Like big amiable bear
With long Santa Claus beard
Close enough for him
To see me wave goodbye
As Sarah and I drive by.
He pauses briefly,
As if to wonder who?
Before raising his own to make the same gesture
Wonderland of imagination and words,
Multi-colored pens,
A hundred half pages of prose,
and Lewis Carroll…
Safe Haven…..
Echoes…..
into the blackness of space…..
edging the “verse” to find
the key of Apollo
undamaged…
amidst the ruins
The lotus
grows and blooms in the mud
emerges pure and clean
The pen and paper prevail
where tongue and speech fail
And then….
P’s musty old typewriter
glows with vitality
Precision of the arrow
Guided by its bow
Awareness of every………..day LIFE
peacocks, and Lamas,
Josslings, and fireflies
Exploration of the essential
The root
and the heart
