sings a song gliding across
like an albatross on crystal
blue lakes of shimmering
diamonds swimming to

her island of blue. Fanning her
snow white feathers treasures
the orange moon. Bobbing her head
to the flock she takes off

like a rocket firing into a cornflower
sky, high as a magpie over the
mountain. Counting the winking stars
she spars with a noctilucent cloud

that stands like corn in the
meadow. An old man is playing banjo
on his back porch. She flies low
to the ground trumpeting hot like

a blowtorch to   "******* creek". A couple
dances cheek to cheek. Crickets
chirp to the string brass, all to the sound
of bluegrass.
