Someday God Seeding The Clouds With Rainbows

someday God, seeding the clouds with rainbows
will be only overjoyed and then we'll see
his riotous roses overtaking the gardens

and the sea ruffled seashore dotted
with perfect sandcastles.
who made them you will ask

and then you will laugh
having answered your own question.
and the butter yellow butterflies

through the roadside grass
will swarm in the honeycombed day
that doesn't have to end except when

we say

and the bluebird summons come to our door
and the doves grow iridescent
well into the evening's eaves.
