Poems From The Shadow of the Blue Hills

By Keith Joseph Collard

Keep this book closed at night, or if you are not reading it, lest deer mice spring out and play in your baby or wedding clothes. Or, Amanita grows in your damp ceiling and seduces you. Or you wake in the cold, dark, gloomy Massachusetts winter to a room and balcony overgrown in tropical Hawaiian verdure. Ask no stone or clay thing to blink for you after reading, because they just might. Walk out to a sandbar forever, and take notice of the sign "Beware of Dragons." Follow the maiden into Fowl Meadow, try not to shape-shift yourself. As a father returns home and walks down the stone steps, follow a mother's footsteps up the pine to the attic and disappear into the jet stream above the snowy hills.
