Iridescent sprinklers 
hiss to life;
a flock of birds erupts 
in origami tempest.
Serrulated wings shimmer,
rising from the grass
in tawny ribbons

streamlike.
A gust...

Idle porcelain boats 
are seagulls 
floating
on a teal harbor
blond moorings
cast like kelp
Sails stiff

Where I could see the mountain top

Where I could feel like flying high.

Then take me down

Into the deep blue...
