September 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:
