April Flying Carpet 2017

In April The Flying Carpet
hovered in astonishment
over Barcelona

Bizarre!!!
Whacko!!!
Inventive!!!
Organic!!!
Transcendent!!!
In Barcelona where the Dragon reigns supreme
Amidst the feral parrots
the Flying Carpet flew up
to meet the natives at the Palau de la Virreina



flew into candy shops 
like time capsule stage sets


flew past the kindly doorman 
into the elegance of
Casa Sayrach

 

 flew in and out the gargoyles
of the ancient cathedral of Barri Gòtic


flew surfing the waves of Gaudi's La Pedrera


flew trippingly amidst the bejeweled facade of Casa Batló


with its idiosyncratic quirk 
of costumed actor tour guides


and its shimmering sea of stained glass


flew into the molten majesty
of Gaudi's unfinished dream Sagrada Familia


 ascending into the heavenly light



Gratitude boundless
