On One Such Afternoon



Motionless, a boredom hung.

. . . . .

A glamour of light, mottled with hot-red, 
surges, like an incandescent basaltic lava.
Its stimulating beauty peaceably glimmers
midst a succession of crested elevations.

For at least a thousand miles, 
an energetic world vanishes somewhere
beneath this billowing skyline.

Out from nowhere blurts the muse –
lifting me all ways, its energy and spirit
heaves like waves on a lively sea,

Into my hand they consciously come,
a vast expansion of words whose I's gesture
a compassionate wink within this mount
of privacy – I am soon carried away…
