Green Dress With A Sprinkling Of Roses, Hydrangeas

in Spring or just before she sighed

the soul longs for a floral dress

one of polished cotton with

a generous skirt tnat swirls

and you want to whirl

without dizziness as if

you were a child when the

green grass seemed everything

to you then the green grass

seemed like Heaven could be

and the Soul with its foreground

of polished green, its generous

sprinkling of roses, spiced 

carnations, blue

hydrangeas of pale lilies, intensified moonlight

is dancing even without the tune
