DANIEL McGINN
Fable
after Scott Ferry
keep changing the story
your memory lies
on the shadow highway
where long bones walk
in your daydream river
where recollections wake
where light and shadows
eat fistfuls of film
the things we were
are not what we were
the things we believe
will betray us
In the Garden
the wind blew through the weeds
and made a gentle sound
dew drops shone on the succulents
like the memory of rain
the sun came out
and rested a hand on my shoulder
the rock roses were blooming
and there you were
