we heard a dragon do I know what your
eyes mean

while a mile away your lips are
saying

spent the morning worshipping a child
another child

sea wrack and prophecy read from an
old book
old book
older than Bible and full of stones
half my New England acre
half my New England acre
because the river is the boundary
song the failed permission
song the failed permission
gladiolus every minute and the blue
hydrangea

blooming as we speak but you are
silent

crisscross prophecies the bird tells
it all

invisible blackbirds piping in the
gorse.

Mercy remembers all the strange names
gave to bedfellows ivy and she was
thistle

and herself the only mistletoe
semaphore hard to know how come it’s
over
over
the little songs of sinking ships the
atoll

lubricious indexes of unread books
I can tell your daydreams from your
midnight

because we rode together battered car
not far
not far
never count shooting stars the way
lovers do
lovers do
or daisy petals but we were angels
too
too
in love with not being in the body
but we were child
but we were child
and children know the world is just their
guess.
