An unnoticed ship
sails across the sky.
Its leaden oars trail

grassy hills,

emptied

the northbound shoals

hoarse in the black iris
I'm a tipsy toad
howling in...

Brass windchimes
ring melodic time
backed up
and down,
back
and forth
by boisterous breeze voices
blowing somewhat more silent choices
below

Before benighted rejoice
reprise to rise
and fall
wounded fail
yet again

Melodious inside intentions
to ring true
love's...
