Zip and Uncurl Golden light all blurred and moistened, fuzzed all outlines hazy drain of sun’s delight, no stir of air by twisting leaf or sigh, this day. Even brittle fall with its sweep of umber, orange and brown can’t take the gray from city streets or turn the playground into gay. Little girls hold hands, but the grumble in my ears gobbles up their laughter, the sound all swallowed by the train caught in a toot that falls along the tracks. Where is the uplifted wing, so feathered with blue its dash across the yards of turning dormant? All is crow of quarrel now. Wind song from the north, come and take the gray from day. Zip and uncurl my shadow on the sidewalk, shine my hair for I would frolic with glorious sun. To decorate this aging |
