Shisan:
First Snow
|
first
snow -
turning on the lights
at one o'clock |
abs |
|
in dark velvet
stillness,
the twinkle of stars
|
ha |
from silky
straps
down her shoulders
a primrose blossoms |
b'oki |
on the
park swing
an old man pushes off |
abs |
across
the bay
our new sailboat bobs up
on a wave |
ha |
kissing
champagne
from his wet lips |
b'oki |
in each
others' arms
rock and roll becomes
a slow dance |
abs |
the wooden
ceiling fan
whirs ever faster |
ha |
out on
the porch
a fresh breeze wakes
the hound dog |
b'oki |
the faded
wicker chair
painted pink at sunset |
abs |
fallen
grapes
purple the dirt road
on the way home |
ha |
in silence,
a full moon
spills through the gate |
b'oki |
