POEM: Blue

Posted on August 2, 2018 by B Gourley

Oh, the glorious monotony
of mountain skies
an azure dome
in rare air highs
over the brome

And, too, the lake
glassy tranquil
float duck and drake
in mile high chill

POEM: Orange Hour

Posted on July 7, 2018 by B Gourley

A golden streak of light,

glowing off the Ganga

like the opening scene

of a fury-destined manga.

The silent, gliding boats

give way to bells and horns

as sadhus leave the ghats

with the fading of the morn.

Gone the floating lamps and flowers,

so ends that magic orange hour.

POEM: Greens & Oranges

Posted on March 30, 2018 by B Gourley

some shades of green
& some oranges
zap my brain into a kindergarten
neurochemical cocktail
the bright green LEDs of a post-neon sign
fire the context of a memory into my mind
there must be some long forgotten object–
a childhood artifact?
unremembered,
like the residue of a dream,
or is it gut-stomp synesthesia?
