24
red violets
the arrows idle in their flight
the wings come loose and move towards the world of leaves
wings and leaves are confounded
stars are beauty spots
for the sky deep as your eyes
cajoled the flower garden laughs
in a genuflected light
the chain of mirages breaks
against the cloud incrusted with kisses
a balmy day
falls from a hump of fruit
claws release a paltry prize
a green cloud dances on two legs of lightning
then the violets grow faster
children lovely as violets
dance like clouds
little children littler than usual
converse with an invisible child
i forget my body
the living joins with the dead
the games disjoin
children lovely as violets
dance like waves
