Travel Nocturn


In my place
between wake and slumber
exists a platform,
a waiting spot
for the dream train.

Weathered wood planks
roughened by time and elements
joined by rust crusted
square spikes.
Wind whispering, stars shining,
no covering in sight.
Ancient iron tracks
stretch from horizon to beyond
beckoning the dream train.

On a night
my mind’s self
reposes there,
labors, worries, and joys
jumbled in thought
until
I board the dream train.

The Calendar

In the early morning fog, the formation of geese rises above the Mississippi River taking wing amidst their rhythmic calls of navigation. The wind whispers among the trees. The lush green of the dancing leaves has given way to a pallet of reds, yellows and oranges. In the field, the pumpkin vines are withering as the fruit ripens full and round. On the wall of the garage the anger of the thermometer has been assuaged by the cool breeze. I sit at my desk, glancing at the calendar in a moment of confusion. August 21?
