Cleremont
1
psychedelic deep
memories of childhood
dream shrouded
startled by huge dark wings
pen dipped in black ink
2
white box houses
row on row of square blocks
street after street
chalk on the sidewalks
kids walk to school
3
Cleremont Avenue
where nothing ever happens
under maple trees
my father plants roses
because he loves red
4
Cleremont Avenue
enveloped in a tree cloud
wrapped in tacky boredom
one house like a castle
across the concrete street
5
we play in the attic
of the gingerbread castle
hiding in closets
never knowing where
the crooked man lurks
