Lorraine Caputo


ENCHANTED ILLUSIONS

I.
Sometimes the rising 
	tide sounds like rain
	upon my roof … or car tires
	sizzling upon dampened
	pavement

II.
The faded stain on
	the floor looks like a bird, its
	head tucked, its wings
	stretched wide across
	worn tiles

III.
A push at my door
	to open it or to click closed …
	perhaps the breeze come from the sea
	or a spirit come to
	visit
