Remember the soft clamor of rains
falling on the mirrored sidewalks
when the ice-skating season
began in never-frozen July
The cat's gentle prance
held secrets of forgotten lands
in spaces shrunk by waves
of lilac-infused twilight thoughts.
Beneath the bear-shaped clouds,
a road was ventured
that whispered promises,
held in rustling autumn leaves,
always turning gold.
Figments attached to
marionette strings
forget they're dancing
amidst sea-foam mist.
Did you ever catch
the smell of invisible ships?
Or the echo of laughs
wrapped in copper
sailing distant shores?
Eternal marbles in
a child’s trembling hand
spark the oceans' lies and laughter.
