Double quatrains

[Koveshnikov]

play the flute play
how many years ago
you promise paradise
luring to hell
love is still alive
she can't burn to the ground
rubbed bowstring
poisoned arrow

Morning’s Gift (Morya’s Double Lock)

I catch a fleeting glimpse- a waking dream
of sirens frolicking to start their day.
They’re full of joy, it seems that they’re at play;
I want to join them in the nearby stream.

I often wave with hopes that one will stay
but they all vanish in the rising steam.
They are but a mirage, so it would seem,
but still I’m buoyed by morning’s brief ballet.

I don’t despair their passing from my sight
the morn is brighter, sound now comes awake;
as critters scamper, pretty birds take flight.

If fantasy, or optical mistake
it none-the-less says things have started right.
and for a dreamer, that’s a decent break.


Joyce Kilmer
