In Their Own Makebelieves Poem by Robert Rorabeck

In Their Own Makebelieves



Words in picture books have less meaning- accompanied
As they are by the sweet verification;
As herons are fencers in the park where childhood still gets
Up through its blazes
To burn its forehead on the reflections of the snowfields
Blinding down
From the happy truancies of the gods who are up there
Once again summer above tree line,
Adulterous, restless,
Believing as do we in their own makebelieves.
