through the stick trees a foil moon is shining
through the stick trees in a child's drawing
the chiild is rising and falling
in the snow of dreams
in the snow of dreams through the stick trees
the foil moon grows larger shining
a larger shining is dreams
where the child rises and falls
through the thick snows
the thick snows careening through
a universe of sighs
an ocean of wonder whys
where the lavender ships have gone down
so that the town of childhood does not
know this yet
so that the glass bells are not
yet pealing, the glazed bells
the once that slipped from our hands
with their cargo of fresh lavender
where will flowers be found
when we no longer carry our bouquets
and the town of childhood
cannot be found
if the flowers are lost at sea
and Spring cannot reach me
cries the winter child
in drreams
where the foil moon weeps
'will it disappear? '
