this was one of several songs
a girl stood among grasses
in blue skirts
in a wind of perfumed stars
it seemed eternal
it was only a moment.
second song.
in a golden orchard the pears
fell like rain
a child tried to explain it
buttering her bread with difficulty
at the dinner table
and was understood.
song three.
this has not come to pass.
music filled the earth/
all wounds fled.
