Violet Time


take my hand come with me
and I will show you a secret
it is on the porch in the swing
do you like pomegranate lime tea
drink and the violet time will entice you
these moments slip between day and night
when crickets tune up practicing for concert
and the air gets slowly eyelid heavy
let us discuss cattails and road dust
bathing in the smell of bursting buds
above us a rust iron lullaby scrapes
here the world dims in gloaming delight

“but I'm so hard to handle
I'm selfish
and I'm sad”…Joni Mitchell

such a gentle
graceful way with words

the crux for me
lies here...

"drink and the violet time will entice you"
