Roberta Jacobson: Text

bonfires
of midsummer's eve
we wait
for the fortune tellers
to whisper their secrets
a bee
buzzes my way and lands on my arm
I fall asleep
and dream of a far-away island
where I wake as a yellow flower


many
have imaginary friends
poets
have imaginary
rainbow dragonflies
evil
Halloween night
only
the moon wears the face
of a marbled angel


purple
smoke curls from her long locks
as fire
swirls from her nostrils
is she a modern-day dragon
