elysabeth faslund Poems

Sunlit rain drips Spring
With diamonds'
Fire...
...

Ice on two continents.
One life.
Trails of Mammouths'
Shadow ending.
...

Where do I go...after.
Father was a big man...
Deep prints, worn path...
'This way, daughter, '
...

Did you believe in good nightmares?
I tell you demons hide behind every
Tree, every blade of sculptured grass...
...

.
Galaxies aren't all that far...
A sleep, a dream, a travel...
You're there.
...

Speak you the days of Sun's warmth quietly.
Reverently. This church will open doors
Too soon, (much too soon) to galing Autumn's
Outrage of being summoned into fire.
...

We are deceived...it is the light
Which casts the shadows
Where dreaded things wait.
The sun is not our protector nor
...

I follow one trail, another,
Ending sharply
In these woods.
Crunching last Fall's
...

Why go on a diet, when you...
Know ice cream will freezer burn.
If you DON'T buy the Milky Way bar...
That company will close down tomorrow.
...

'You are the love of my life...first, and last, husband.
We'll be together till the end of time...
I'll wash your Gold Wing Touring bike.'
