You Announce an Importance
Beloved,
I’m in love with your sunrise sky.
I left my warm bed
to nuzzle my nose into yours,
inhale your rosy freshness
and enter the domain of the heart-dwellers.
Ear-space makes room for your non-stop band,
worlds of tiny leg-players invited
to settle in the whole day long.
Heart-cloth opens
to gather up a gaggle of your own creations,
their long white necks aligned perfectly
with your steering.
Vast wing-spreads span your invisible lure
till splash!
a landing in Oyster Pond
just as your glowing red disc
bobs up behind them.
You announce an importance.
I stop and listen.
