Gold Like A Broken Ring. by Will Dockery

Gold Like A Broken Ring.

Crescent moon
on just fresh Autumn
waves lapping
from the river.
Myth and reality at once.
Bon Bon
Good good early chill.
Memory like a haunting shadow.

Sandy blanket
slither of moon
gold like a broken ring
by the river.
Hair caught the light
Bon Bon
bright stars shining somewhere above.
Lights across the bay.

Movement in the field
under cover of darkness
she says "Don't worry..."
"The woods have predators."
Myth and reality at once.
Bon Bon
Good good early chill.
Memory like a haunting shadow.

Will, let me respond this way:

there was a summer moon
of such splendour that,
upon reflection,

we could see shining in the silver lake such radiance
that,

forsythia bloomed yellow and there were so
many horizons falling forward,

that we could not see again straight.

then the skies arose with such resplendence of glories,
that from their infinitude became grace,

and the gift of every stone, every story.

these were the gifts and graces of such times, less perfect,
but yet perfected in memory,
as Thomas Jefferson might have blessed:

had his beloved Marttha lived to see Paris.

had Sally been blessed to see Shiloh.

had Gideon not blown the trumpets there.
