COLLECTED POEMS OF CURTIS WETZEL

A TRICKSTER OF KIND
(Inspired by Black Jack)

A phantom-magician with rain-boots,
Levitating through the night,
Tapping on the upper window, thrice - on its way it went.
Wearing a trench-coat and top-hat, it had no body.
A phantom levitating off into the night,
It must have been somebody.
I'll never know.
I close my eyes a million times.
I will never know.
A phantom in black,
Into thee abyss, it's in my mind.
It may be back - A trickster of kind.
