A weekly video reading of poetry by the poet.

Pillow Moon Over a Night Drive
by J R Turek

cruising to the serene sounds of poetry on cd
liquid silvered streams caught
in headlight beams drive dark shadows away
fill my head with crystal images
that sing as I caress the rim of the wheel,
satiate my craving for down-filled solace,
for companionship for easing a long drive,
twitching my hands with the want
to write like him, to get inside his head,
to know what he knows,
to lie prone beside him
as he reads his dreams to me --
it's the floetry of it all

smooth lines paused for impact
like steady white lines besides my tires
language rolling on like the miles, draining
my mind of baggage, opening lanes to journey
where he wills me to go, hand held in his
immersed in floetry

too soon I reach my destination
still he speaks to me of his love for poetry
shows me the view from his window
has me tasting sweet tangerines
juice pooling at the corners of my mouth,
smelling onion grass in a fresh-cut field
-- or are they my poems flowing
through his, through me --
I rush through my assignation,
start the cd for the languid drive home
he climbs in beside me,
our time together to share secrets,
afloat in my love of his floetry
