(Alice Wonders)

In the night crickets chirp,

star dust twinkles

and airplanes pass,

animals growl and the

woods are kidnappers

with candy in a van.

Children with fear go in,

adults prepared come

out with a nexus tan.

~~~

The river sounds dig the

grave of Alice Wonders,

the wheels turning in her mind

trust nothing, curiosity kills her,

she'd rather build

the already knowing sender-

war decoding misty render.

~~~

In the day of dwelling

birds flock to say good mourning,

sunshine peeks from behind a cloud

but rainy tunnels pressure scorning.

~~~

Laugh at me bulletin,

surely I'll laugh at you,

now we're talking a figuration.

Watcher eyes twirl the piano,

music in my head defines contemplation.

~~~

The swallows of peril candles dim,

Alice declares a main event and

she'll get what she wants,

chances of something

stopping it are slim.
