Bar Harbor
by George Freek


]

Between the black sky
and the elm leaves something is missing.
If only I knew what it was.
Still, a change in the weather
will never change my life.

An apple falls like a drunken gymnast,
and the wind howls.
One second trips over the next,
and I stagger towards nothing
like a rock rolling out of a dream:

a dream filled with common shadows,
in a geography of common spaces,
and common stars with ordinary faces,
and blind men and blind women,
dancing blindly, in ordinary places.
