Let us find the morning sprites, the bells
on their ankles are worth four rainbows
if we could but catch one, they frolic
often in the wells of music and the lap lap
waves of shell-chorus shores

Under the canopy of dogwood boughs,
rippled hearts marry to prune judgement,
cast aside to share the blood of plenty
and prairie prose, mice titter in poems of
swans, hatching plans to feather ride
to majestic ponds of marble-moon light

And kiss upon the gentle wings, subtle
whispers of delicate dreams, red
and borrowed in flower-stained ink,
like little brittle petals draped over eyes
too sore to soar and lonely to leave
lips upon the crying night.
