once, on a 4th

your subtle parade
   shuffles past me --
   its breeze, refreshing
   thought and stirring dust
   invades my calm discomfort
   and drums up passion
   as no Sousa march
   would ever dare


and gone in an instance
   of blaring trumpets --
   the sound of love
   on musical winds
   my moment's enjoyment
   escapes with your leaving
   the diminishing din
   of your subtle parade
