When colors swing fast
Whether for pix, memories,
Blink the least you can
When colors swing fast
Whether for pix, memories,
Blink the least you can
A wobbly forecast
I will rush to the wardrobe
My girls to the streets
Laundry takes longer
But I’m not parched as often
It’s a happy wait
At last a sweater
And with any luck tonight
A bit of spooning
Wrapped in their blankets
The homeless rehearse a wake
They shall never get
A derelict Christ
Half naked and half alive
Napping in the Sun
The poor and the free
Bathe in Art Nouveau fountains
We talk of manners
When politicians promise housing
They never mention it’s made from their vynil banners
First leaf on the pool
At the bottom its shadow
Ripples cut them off
apples in the sun
hold the heat before it's gone
and twist them gently
Get your boots
The last sunny bit
Crush leaves into flour
Winter stash
Invisible woods
But then you tuck your tongue in
The talk of treetops
the storm clouds are gone
the first white peak will retreat
but so will the sun
