Spirograph

(for Percy Bysshe Shelley)

into a cloud as into an azure shining fly

careening into a star that's dying 

into an orchid mist declaiming this

my muted birds

beyond immortal tree lines

spiraling

daunting in pearl edged mists dissolving

turning in the winds on the last blade of light.

before, before the songless nights.
