wishing the rain...

Lady
Under the white canopy on the hill
Conversing
Selling
Tidying
Painting her face in the mirror
Lady
Under the mustard sky casting her purple shadow
Oh, Lady
Greeting the night & all of its inhabitants
A straight grass line
&
Sloping pavement to the ocean
She
Replete
With
With
Wonder
&
Song
&
Diamonds on the bay
Lady
Wishing the rain a red rose in her hair
Her red wrap
Sand under her shoes
The Narrows gurgling its way
Out to Fundy bay
At Penitence Point
Risks & statues facing there
Painting the fog
Sugars & wine & a raindrop sun
&
Pink diamonds on the sky
In the many color cloth of the canvas
Painting the fog
Wishing the rain a good news from the sea
Replete
With
With
Wonder
&
Song
&
Diamonds on the bay,
A great wheel in the field
& four cellos,
The speak of the song in her dream
