Flying Pigs, Swimming Hummingbirds
Illustration by James C. Hegedus
Homage to the Women of Portrait of a Bookstore
Hidden Altar-
-tucked-
Where sprites bristle with Eve
and flow freely
No one considered
the ritual
no one thought it up-
out of book and prayer
twinned with time
came free spirits...
Tiny silken moth
fluttering by
accidentally brushes
the heart...
...light passes
and Eve listens
to lost Romeo
or Aristotle
or Cain
with same forgiving ear...So the falling trees
can accept their fate
for one more day.-Brett Brdas
