Sunrise sky, lavender blooms
And Calypso roses,
Western places and
Venus dozes.
Open persimmon doors and
Smooth marble floors,
No end to Time and autumn days,
Sublime.
A waltz under birches-
No human besmirches.
Only slow and swirling will do.
Western places and Venus dozes –
*
Lupine and French laces..
Kisses, Vermillion, with dark amber traces,
Lines etched in ink, indigo.
Hard cider with cardamom, and
Blue hyacinth falling.
Blueberry shaved ice and winter’s stalling.
A neverending tale with angel cake and warmth.
