Poetry For Everyday People
Our Little Corners
My night stand
my little lamp
blue lamp shade
with flowers,
stack of books,
alarm clock/radio,
set on the classical
station, lilac candle,
keep the angels close,
at times I wonder
about your night stand,
what you have on
it, what books?
what magazines?
what's in your drawers?
all over the world,
beds and night stands,
I remember twenty years
ago my night stand was
a box turned up side
down, an old Jimi Hendrix
banner draped over it,
so much in common,
sitting on the edge
of our beds, setting
our alarm clocks, reading
a little if we're lucky,
as we get under our covers,
a world united, one moon, we
reach over turn off our lamps,
day full,
day full,
ready
to
dream.
