Brandy Apple Days 'n Dandelions - Scharlie Martin
GAME PLAN
When everything hinges on
A stolen glance
And stealing seems to be
Your only chance,
Then bump your mark
And snatch your dreams,
Throw your heart into the
Flames—
And when the ashes cool
To a steady glow,
Bank your hearth to burn
Agonizingly
Slow.
BRANDY APPLE DAYS
For me time is like an airport
Control tower
Setting up holding patterns
To prevent us from
Colliding with
Ourselves.
Except when we’re
In love—
All the air traffic controllers
Must go on strike in
Those brandy apple days
We glide
Thru love
And keep colliding with
Ourselves.
LADY OF THE LANGUAGES
I walked ninety-two blocks
To find a phone
To call you and
You said, Sure, come on over.
So, ninety-two block later
I arrived—
Only to find you couldn’t wait
And had gone out again.
Then after I crawled back
Into my hole
You called and
I ran another ninety-two blocks.
What’s the matter?
Aren’t there
Enough oceans to climb
And mountains to swim
Anymore?
IS IT YOUR MOVE OR MINE?
Your love
Plays waiting games
Pushing out
Only when
My pawns are vulnerable.
Too bad I don’t have
A carving set
And access to
An ivory factory.
TEASE
Your laughter
Like talking water
Stirs
The me in me.
That must be why
I go to so much trouble
To seem to
Ignore you.
PORCHES
I hope love
Is not like those
Antiquated tacked on
Vestibules between
Out and In
Called porches—
All closed in.
But open and free
Like a patio.
SIDEWALK CAFES
I’ve always thought
Of sidewalk cafes
As filling stations
For sun nuts
And connoisseurs
Of the delicately
And deliciously
Turned calf.
SOLDIERS ON THE TRAIN
Why do soldiers only
Take the train
Late in autumn after
Summer’s blazed and gone?
It’s almost as if
The heart only becomes
A conscientious objector
When uniforms are donned.
PASSING IN REVIEW
Once, while driving through
Cincinnati
In an Army buddy’s convertible
A pretty young
