What Dreamers Scrawl From Fleeting Memory
Fragments of my mind
tattooed on matchbook covers
from borrowed pens heeding
an obedient hand clutching
-- stab --
at the heart of dreams
... fragments ...
of memories of scrawled pleadings
`` cover ``
a nightstand, fill drawers
with forgotten reminders
stabbing at my heart through my head
What was I thinking?
I digress:
I know I promised
write you an opus
(you're kind not to note)
One man not a symphony
There will be no performance today
-- postponed --
when rhythms returning
beg this composer sing
your hymns
at a solemn podium
in vacuous theatre --
and the marquee read?

Commentary on this poem:
I want to write what others want to read, but I have to be true to my heart and my soul pleading for another to visualize the way I do.
