Starry Ladder, a Sonnet
My eyes are bluish-gray, I’m feeling blue;
This humdrum mediocrity is taxing,
The life around is full of dullish hues…
Imprisoned man, chauffer, his cell - the taxi;
His life – a trap, a slow death, a feud.
A pretty wife: her chores are taxing axes,
Her pleasures? – rather vulgar, gray and few.
But let us be unlike the caged people,
And let us wander to the stars, entwining hands…
You’re so beautiful, I’m breathless – not to flatter.
Let’s grow stronger, never old and never feeble,
As artists, lovers, editors and friends.
Look, there in the dark a starry ladder…
