Along the River
Along the River
Along the river the wildflowers bloom:
Bright swathes of orange, blue and lavender
Join the swelling of buttercup mounds
Awakening scarlet petals of love.
Rowers slide by in painted skiffs,
Speckled fish leap to climb the sky.
I follow the Sun, always the Sun,
She stirs the world in the depths of my heart.
Let my love be radiant,
Let infants gaze into my eyes.
I held a baby in my arms for hours
And read to him Edna St. Vincent Millay.
He found my voice a solace,
I fell in love
With the boy who chewed my finger.
