| leonard cirino |  | 1. Muse of My Art for Ava Flower of my heart, petals fallen in the midnight orchard I leave strange blossoms scattered for your dawn walk home. 2. Serpent Snaking slender lazy smoke, old poet's barn his home and shrine. Moon near zenith, empty of all brethern, at midnight the bells ring matins. 3. Crucifix Old pine, three stones, new moon on pond. One lonely figure crushed against the rent horizon. 4. for Blue What became of my beautiful cat? Who did she become? the wind leveling her ashes, or is she perched still, silent in my room? | |
