Two new poems
“Ugly Narcissus” by yours truly
“I am not really ugly. I believe I am handsome in a way.”
“Hmm, ‘handsome in a way.'”
“Let’s sit by the lake and talk a while.”
“‘A while’? About what?”
“Are you Echo? How good I look reflected in the lake.”
“Sir, you are charming but making a mistake
In this lake.”
“Sparkles Two” by yours truly
,
You can see sparkies in the night
Emanating in a spectral circle around
The flashlight’s central white light.
And in the day,
The Sun still plays
With silent firework displays
On the back window of
A nearby parked car.
How near? How far?
