ON THE ROAD TO OZ

Middle aged
in ruby red slippers,
dusty magic shoes
with run-down heels.
 
On the road to Oz
I met a scarecrow
who could dance
but couldn’t think,
a shiny man
cold as tin,
a sniveling lion
tossing gaudy promises.
 
The field of flowers
rolled consciousness in dazzled fog
between the dream and quest
truth was held the holy prisoner.
 
Salvation rode in on a broom
cackling laughter of the crone
she set me free
and I
returned to Kansas.
