Barbara Lydecker Crane
Dwelling in Possibility
Quietly-riotly
Emily Dickinson—
eyes on horizon and
mind out to roam,
dashing her verbiage,
driving each image with
Hypervelocity—
hardly left home.
From the Ex-files
One-ity—done-ity
Catherine of Aragon,
banished by Henry for
bearing no son,
held it together when
learning Boleyn, that young
numerological
two, came undone.
High-pothesis
Higgledus-piggledus
Claudius Ptolemy,
Grecian of Roman-ruled
Egypt, dubbed Earth
"axis of universe—"
fixing him firmly in
anthropological
address of worth.
Fenway Delay
In a rain delay,
perched in bleachers, while I pray
for rain and delay
to end, I wile time away
writing on this paper scrap
seven soggy lines in lap:
a rainy rondelet.
