April’s fool— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
Hard running … flat out working
on a Maya high
lost in the computer’s labyrinth logic
Making it work … for some ego trip?
for the joy of creation
for the passage of unconscious time … ?
Virginia, Washington D.C., Portland, Maine, and Quebec
Rose and Christopher
Work’s cresendo … time’s almost inaudible
laughter.

Tuesday, April 29th, 1980Oh, what dancing arabic eyes speak to me now?— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
as dark as the crusades and balustrades and minarets
high noon over Mecca and Mohammed’s’s sandal
they echo here to me in these Lebanese eyes…

Tuesday, April 29th, 1980I pound on the walls that bind me here— Copyright 1965-2008 by Dennis Gallagher —
but they never lessen
my Age, Death, Insight …
the incandescent realizations of chances lost,
of the permanence of change,
they come and dance to me
when I stare in the mirror
ever step is more fraught with irrevocability
as I go forward
because I have so much more to lose
its always less the open slate now
and more the written Word … the patterns born,
and crucified, and calcified,
and finally … owned.
And though I pound on my walls
and drink the wine of these thoughts
into the depths of night…
it is.
