Grenouille Bleue
Maybe between shouts
an urging, stress of weather
like a fissure, an impasse.
Maybe a blanket?
A coat and towel too.
For the draftsman howling
at the sky, and angels
through the sugar maple.
Wading monastics
washing muslin robes.
Stalk of lemongrass in hand;
raw hemp around ankles.
Twelve shoes tethered,
laced into a bouquet —
quiet love seating itself,
of moonstone and a dirt road.
Have the bluebells
turned cerulean? At sundown,
an emphatic stress. Of hope,
our soft bundle of ballads.
