Poetry sings in the close distance
Walks long stride of rainfall creeks
And rivers into seas

Dances clouds
In intermittent rainbows
Spectrum spiraling down
Dewdrops in autumn
All yellow orange
Disturbed by leaves

Insurgent
It reminds of passion
Subtle
By degrees
Fashioning memory
Like insulin
Needling youth too high
Or too low
On the sweet

On the sweet

It lingers
Words
Tongue to lips
Fragrance
On air too hot and too still
Breathing longing
Breeze denying

Until of love it has its fill
