we could have had our fill of sapphires
counting the blue skied wonders we've observed
or had the key dams over flow with music
flood the world with diadems we'd already heard
such has been the excess of starlight, rubied leaves in rhe darkening
winds
we couldn't imagine in the sunrise days
with the clocks outrunning us the coronets, the Christmas drums
that so much treasure left to us
could last till Kingdom Come.
