Poetry Experiment #1

Levitation

An indigo mountain night
beneath the moon of silver
anniversaries arise
in distant thunderstorms.

I remember lyrics
in the lake and Jimi
Hendrix playing air
guitar. The wind was rushing

like a waitress in
a crowded train. Somewhere
in the sunset a sudden
fool was hammering

his stone wall back together
with meditation nails.
Is he dead and does
his mother really know?
Gregory Perry 2004
