-
smoke curls like whimsy

happiness is glass

seconds matchless treasure

cut short like barley grass

–

stay a moment more

hold another hand

keep a promise longer

linger smile so grand

–

if I could hold this minute

keep this sugar air

peace could blanket time

we would be so rare

•
you were there again

in your violet ruffled silk

pearls of opal fire

hair like buttermilk

•

violins were somewhere

low harps and red guitars

i remember laughter

lips and whirling stars

•

i look for you at twilight

moon of sapphire cream

the cold sky so wide

you in my dream

felt it leave that day
no craft binds it here
-
in tickling grass of copper fields
a kiss and disappear
-
a slight caress of shadows
seductive draining touch
-
a wind of colored madness
no breath that matters much
-
it left the screaming whispers
to roam the time that lasts
-
it fell into the empty
and left this world of glass
