Patrick Gallagher

flute music
from the temple
we cannot enter
winter waves
bringing fresh moonstones
to the beach
first meeting you
a flight of balloons
above the summer river
moon viewing
wine from Slovenia
fills my cup
a bench in shade
old folks plotting
their next moves
no comet just the plain stars tonight
stream of ants
running madly
in both directions
relaxed
knowing I get off
at the last stop
Veterans Day
a parade with more marchers
than viewers
just before dawn
one last ornament
all the difference
