There is a secret place
Over the nebulous highway
Where my mind meets
Fusions of supernovae
Feathering into a twilit marsh
Precious gems cradled
Within its bosom—
The collective of untouched ideas
Fresh with the dew
Glistening from willows
Which hang their heads low
Beneath the sanguine flush
Of the moon
Nurturing the treasures
That I’ve found
Foreign and ethereal
Though I’ve been here
Several times before
Only to have them
Burst like glittering shards
From the battering intrusion
Of a woodpecker’s call
As my dreams collapse
Under the weight
Of the rising sun
