Vera Kilgore Heilig: Her Poetry Lives (2017) H. Morris Williams, Marie Law Haire

Nocturne In A Minor Key

Before I can leap to the phone from my bed

When I have been roused from my slumber,
The one who had rung up

Has already hung up
Or else (this almost goes without being said)

Somebody has called the wrong number.

Armchair Traveler

A charter trip on LSD
Or peyote is not for me.

I do not need
The weed,

Or airplane glue,

Or heavenly Blue
Morning glory seed.

I scorn such psychedelic stuff

My consciousness is expanded enough!

Efficiency Plus

Neatness is fine 1 will agree,

And tidiness is dandy,

But it seems sensible to me
To keep things where they’re handy.
