Baa Baa

She was the black sheep of the family 

wearing nothing but a blue sky crinoline butterfly 

tasting of honey on Sundays only 

and 

smelling of the first downpour of Spring 

morning’s chill feels like electric rivulose 

see how it brightens the stripes of day? 

how it tickles your sense of play? 

oh April in Aspen 

wearing morning’s everything 

(or maybe not) 

when it rains things become faster 

so 

give it a lash you fluthered culchie!  

there where you see the worn old path to rocks & rivers 

the softening comes as the rain torrents down down down 

April flies to Venus in Taurus 93% illuminated 

as Bird rests....

oh come to pass in June this will be! 

the black sheep of the family 

blue fields burning turning night to winter’s carnival 

céad míle fáilte 

“goodbye 

good night”, says the rock from river deep 

she was the black sheep of the family

in 

Spring she found her gravity
