There must be a deep-seated need for a tax day related poem so here it goes. But then the next one is in keeping with this year’s theme.<\/p>\n

is there a levy
\ndue to some unknown agency
\ncharged with counting
\nthe lonely nights?
\nFor each night, for each day
\nthe price tallied
\nthe record entered
\nthe yearly total due.
\nWrite the check
\nwrite off another year
\nfeel the nothingness
\nthat is so highly taxed.\t\t15 april 2012<\/p>\n

In my vest pocket,
\nthere’s a pinch
\nof sparkly dust,
\nsomething to
\nsweeten your dreams
\nif you are wrapped
\nwith the cloak of night.
\nIn my watch pocket
\na tiny wrapped packet
\nsome leaves, a feather,
\na small bit of snow
\n(no not snow, fire!)
\nand a single whisker.
\nIf it dangled from
\nthe golden thread
\nnear your own locket
\nyou would look
\ninto my eyes
\nand I would have
\nno power at all.
\nand I would gaze long
\nif you would but
\nopen your eyes.
\nWake! Ask me to
\nunravel your dreams
\nand look at me
\nwhile I lose
\nmyself to you.
\nI put it in your hand
\nwhile I attend
\nyour dreams
\nand wait for you
\nto wake.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
