In Celebration of National Poetry Month

All things became infinitesimally small
As your mane covered your eyes in the April wind
The empty stirring of the fallen colors
An embedded memory of relentless desire
To spin your soul on the tireless loom
Out the dull (roots/rotes) of a poet’s fury
Changing as the seasons
For letters to stones
Poetry is a shallow pool
Following the perpetual spring rain
To the birth of the passion flower
Love timeless
And only in the sheer black reflection
Was the depth of your sky reflected
A deep pond’ve kept you hidden in the shimmer

A jester danced across the street that held you
A dog laid paws on the sheer marble
Like it was a well
And a trumpet sounded from the center
Usher April’s trinity reborn
The wandering of your circular line of thought
A spiral staircase trailing off to heaven
