What if I ate wings<\/em><\/p>\n

for breakfast?<\/em><\/p>\n

What if I ate<\/em><\/p>\n

a dress for lunch?<\/em><\/p>\n

What if I ate<\/em><\/p>\n

a book for dinner?<\/em><\/p>\n

What if I ate<\/em><\/p>\n

a ghost for dessert?<\/em><\/p>\n

I would be a fairy.<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

TOUCHING HEAVEN<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

No white light will call.<\/p>\n

Only lines and lines from poems<\/p>\n

unraveling in phrases like truth<\/p>\n

be told and bird thou never wert.<\/p>\n

Words will flock. Words, dear words:<\/p>\n

Gunnel. Scrim. Moth. Lie.<\/p>\n

Dissolving gurgle and hush<\/p>\n

and sweet, sweet summer sweet,<\/p>\n

all a beat and breath away from matter.<\/p>\n

Midden. Duff. Trace. Air.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The above poems will be arriving on Juneau\u2019s buses at the end of April as part of this year\u2019s Poetry Omnibus. This year, said program coordinator Ceann Murphy, there were 68 poems submitted. Thirty-six will be placed on Juneau\u2019s buses, where they\u2019ll be on display for one year.<\/p>\n
