Demanding a daydream, the bluest September
sky I’ve ever seen draws me up as a cherub
to ride on a heavenly cloud-white carousel.

Posed to perfection like a porcelain shelf-sitter,
but re-animated as the child I once was,
my heart of darkness suddenly empties itself

leaving a contrail of black butterflies turning
to gold as they flutter away into sunlight.
Pink-cheeked with laughter, I blow kisses to bluebirds

and draw tiny fingers through rainbows to skypaint
smiley faces in yellow on passing grey clouds
Talking trees giggle, and as I fly low over earth,

they stretch out leafy branches to tickle my toes.
But cold winds from the sea turn clouds into schooners
soon shipwrecked on the rocks of my moody blue world.
