the moon is hiding in | |
|
her hair. | |

The | |

lily | |

of heaven |
|
full of all dreams, | |
|
draws down. | |
|
cover her briefness in singing | |
|
close her with intricate faint birds | |

by daisies and twilights |
|
Deepen her, | |
|
Recite | |
|
upon her | |
|
flesh | |

the rain's |
|
pearls singly-whispering. |
