Now is No Time


A look full glance
the head turned
 returned
by a walking girl
swinging her skirt

should we follow through
the evening street
now fallow 
with the summer heat

lone girl
bare feet walking
turning in a doorway
out of the heat
and passion 
       simmers
             in the street

thinking all the time
ideas all the time tangle

a blue pool
lay in the lap
of green willows

a synthetic idea
compounded by
a bridge
bone china

lulling labels
advertise fables
now is no time
