Pax
a feather dropping
pond water gently rippling
stillness to
stillness
Norman Crane Sep 2021
like bubbles
rising through water
gas
escaping,   oneafteranother
up, lighter than—
we are
empty  as  canned laughter
upwardly  mobile,
hope-filled
rising till realising, we  are:
like bubbles rising
in a (corked)  water (bottle)
world
Norman Crane Sep 2021
root of all evil
a man | hanged in every home
                look in the mirror
Norman Crane Sep 2021
the dog wakes
snapping
at the flying red dragon
fly
as the dream fades
Norman Crane Sep 2021
I've an egg inside me
that's in the process of—
cracking /
What hatches, we'll see.
I'll offer it my love,
and it shall be lovely,
eating me from inside,
until it can—
no longer hide.
Norman Crane Sep 2021
tonight the tide comes in
fully. tomorrow
we'll need glass bottom boats
to see new york city.
the flood lights
the deluge
reflecting the moon,
pulling the water over us
like a blanket. soon
our lungs will become pumps,
recovering—
forever—
the statue of liberty.
Norman Crane Sep 2021
celebrate your /
self / ish / nature : I / I / I
am ill-
usory.
