Jasper Number 11 Reads Poem Ancrom
Double Rainbow
George saw it too
she said sitting in
lattice-work hose
thick black shoes
at the Riverfront
drumming with her
lithe lucent fingers
tripleting the beat
driving home
a pale orange moon
bobbing above
the lavish oaks
the ball spoke: tell all
tell all it invoked
what came next,
the days since then
