Asleep by a river
In tidal eclipse.
Girl with straw hair
And strawberry lips.
Placid.
As the afternoon sun.
Her dreams are of scarlet
And barely begun.
I do not know why
She rests here on my bank.
Her time would be brief
She told this me frank.
But here she lays bidden.
Shut up with her eyes
Where mine look with longing
To cacophonous skies.
