Aphorisms & Haiku II:
Stonefish & Tiger-lilies
by Gordon Coombes
Free the guilty hang the innocent
Love your enemies hate your friends-
an elephant paces the floor
outside my room
knocks on the door-
Tulips sprout in the toilet bowl
paintings hang from trees
clouds drift through my head-
cars sitting idle at night
on these quiet streets
of what do they dream-
Her eyes were tiger-lilies
her face was a mirror
walking around inside her head
I discover it is a house of mirrors-
paddling through shimmering glass
canoeing across reflected blue skies
& drifting clouds-
On a sunny day there are tropical fish
swimming in the sky-
birds etched trapped in stone
dream of taking flight-

Café Apollinaire - Variations...
Refugees
of Bohemia -
At the end of the night
After leaving Café Apollinaire
poets & artists
stroll arm in arm
along the shadowy streets of Paris
in the twinkling yellowish glow
of gas-lights
inebriated by heady discussions
& wine & absinthe-

Amazed - INTRO
by Gordon Coombes
Amazed by monks meditating
in Nepal in the Himalayas
beneath the shadow of mount Fuji
in the shadow of Cape Smokey
in the mountains of Cape Breton
hanging out over the Atlantic Ocean
as the fog rolls in
as the chilling winds of winter
blow steadily for weeks on end
& the snow drifts curve like a wave about to crash
pushing up against the walls of the Monastery -
