Poem: Forecast

 

Forecast

 

bees drift drunk on yellow

while the hummers putter and yaw;

both of them breeze in a slothful mobile.

 

tadpoles nearby

drowse glazed in stream.

 

how the sky lounges,

mountainous on pillows

and bolsters of fleece.

jellyfish willow trees

wallow mired in azure ponds.

 

no rain disturbs

somnolent twigs or serendipitous clover.

no thunder trembles

the narcotized devils-paintbrushed

moss.

 

is this comedy,

noon’s comely sleep,

to await charger and prince?

and yet none appears.

no princess cares.

you can hear the dandelions

scolding Zephyr.
