September Flying Carpet
In September the Flying Carpet
In September the Flying Carpet
got blown off course by Hurricaine Issac
and ended up in the middle of Chinatown in Flushing, NY
instead of Bangor Maine...
(chooses to think of it as a very inexpensive trip to China
rather than an expensive delay...)
Then loop de looped to Haystack at Deer Isle
Quivering with morning dew
rolling in deep moss
the zig-zag branches twirling above
India bends down gathering leaves for the dye pot.
She picks up an old fragment of sheet music...
the only word on it is “Blest”
“Naomi’s Dump Brigade”
sign at dump: “Watch Out for People”
and home again home again jiggedy jig
Special thanks to:
