A Rivering

Bring green barges for the winching,
     heft a portage of willowy thrones 
                    for the wind thrummers,
          gild each gap with dewy vines.

A droning in the leaf shelters,
     all the humming skimmers
      grown beyond their husks.
Gather the garner to be had
                      sift and share.

Time to haul-in Lady flaxen hair
              her goldenrods dancing.
We have windows, behind them
                 volant dragons glitter 
and whisk.
We see her serpent forms
              in the airy whim.

We have lashes on ox-eye buds,
                 honeycombed fodder 
                          in the silky sap,
tidings leap, 
utter bright on every tongue.
It is the rivering. The Spring awakening
and the rioters are weaving sunlight
                  everywhere.
