today's poem - "Cockamamie"

 

Cockamamie

This colorful object has a very real presence

its arcane art an amazement of all things gone

from inner landscapes of collective mythology

tumbled from brooks rippled into a dark-eyed lake

to a pyramidal-roofed gatehouse backlit by dawn

whose dark windows reflect spectral testimony

while nearby, oak trees like pencils fall into themselves
