Mask Making & Music
 
 

I reach for the impossible

touch the possible

somewhere when the CD

includes birdsong

outside my window

gardens blooming

on the glass table

turning tables

and handstands

creating equitable distances

shocking proximities

friends leaving for Key West

and Montreal

jefe and honcho

for 10,000 headmen

or is it

10,000 cicadas?
