DREAMLOVER ARRIVES

Sting in the hearty rock

dissemble aghast each memoir

leaves at the foolish hour

payback & elevated choir

sung & sung evermore

curtains for the flock

graven image & dynastic whirl

long-mentioned & striving

unbeknownst all the while

your royal road excessive

meltdown of dream inescapable

over the broad lensscape

the view that heartens

the beckoning fury

and you finally fatefully arrive

--Bill Pearlman
