Ferlinghetti on the Lawn

Ferlinghetti on the Lawn
for Nancy Baughman

1967
Chico State
I lie with Nancy
tummies down on towels
bikinied
in deep June grass

Ferlinghetti open
in my hands
opens me
a Coney Island of the Mind
indeed
page after page
the ninja poet's lines
dance and pierce

I look over at Nancy
she's now face up
eyes closed
under Chico sun
her white blonde hair flows
across a sky blue towel

listen to this
"Beauty stands and waits
with gravity
to start her death-defying leap"

wow
she says softly
and looks over at me
hand shading her
pool blue eyes

What’s New…

White Owl Web is in the process of re-designing the entire site. Big job! This is going to take a while, folks, and it will have to be done in stages. Thank goodness for CSS and Dreamweaver! Looks like a lot of nights of midnight oil here. White Owl Web hopes you will enjoy the new design, organization, and updates. This site has been gently nudging the Owl for a very long time to give it some serious attention. The time has come!
