UFO

by Dina Daniel
Poetry
I believe in unidentifiable flying objects
There was a UFO positioned
Over Yucca Valley on June 19th.
A vibrating sound,
too rich in volume,
created tension as
gathered crowds stirred
into a frenzy.

I believe a doorway opened.
That evening while out numbered clouds poured
and misguided patrons
stared into glass cages,
laughter became a sedative
for those seated on leather bar stools
leaning towards darkness.
I believe in darkness, complete darkness.

Everyone in the Sandy
Hills Bar watched the skies
hearing more than thunder’s
tragic voice.
Strange music vibrated;
the sound was trance like
filtering through two hollow drums.
