Joan's Pen

The pen of Joan
traces the distracted stars
circling the echoes
of rose rock brick.

Tracing the distracted stars
dancing about the moon of claiming
as the moon's children
paint shadows in the courtyard.

And echoes circle the courtyard,
foreign radios in fractured time.
She swims in shallow water
under deep blue dream scape.

Rose rock bricks
count out their subtle pattern.
She calls in the moon children.
She sends out the southern wind.

Here, I tried to take the form of "John's Pen" and as many of the ideas/images as I could remember, and write fresh without reference to the previous poem.
