Feel free to write as much or as little as you like. Tell us your story: A Dream and a Prayer While war rages and racks In holding bitter bombs in an airplane Like pit bulls in a boutique of kittens, You are the bold leaves in my dreams Feeding the exigent needs Of my desires, The way an Australian eucalyptus Becomes the Eucharist In the insensate sating of my senses With its aromatic leaves Standing firm and stroking the eye In its blessings for oil and timber Which are tensile to the touch. Your carnelian lips? Soft to the texture of my touch? Make of my sleeping state A Hollywood technicolor film Written and directed in black and white By youth?s genius?Orson Wells, who sank his camera to the floor For visions ever vivid And vital The way your poems Are like an seraphin?s recital. Oh my bright one, come to the estaminet Of my kitchen table And feast on my Thanksgiving turkey Praying with me That in Afganistan We find peace With and through justice, Oh Lord, see that our men and women Abroad Be safe and secure - Aboard the ark of the Holy Spirit. This brave peace comes from The word root "to fasten," Now become a radical metaphor, The way friends clasp their hands; And justice is derived fron this root -- "to pronounce a ritual formula." This way invoke the following: I look forward to caring for you: Delicate as the leaves In a tiger lily that I saw Nearly three decades ago In the courts of Jerusalem In this way now I serve a feast For all six of our senses ? For holy and happy is this, Our peace. And so the fabric and form Of your bloom Is become an eternal June. c copyright 2001 by John J.
