how did it come to You to make glow in the dark stars
or pick the fantastic wall paper, ceiling too for earth
so marbelizing blue and green
so that little children everywhere
were happy under the tree roofs branching
and wrote in the dust your diamond name
with sticks and outlined their playhouse outside
with the innate moonlight of your milky quartz
oh blue jay feather falling farther from me
than childhood I loved you as Rilke
his peacock feather.
and do You send your sunset messages to everyone
and if you do
why does it feel do I feel oh every time
and for the longest time
with the rose the violet the tangerine
unfolding in late afternoon's skies
that only this letter
is meant for me?
