Fifty doves
fly as one –
a hundred wings
on a string
.
like a cloud
caught by the sun
in a glint
and a flutter
.
before they all
disappear
to swerve in the curve
of caprice.

Capricious one
I often wonder
if in truth
our hearts grow fonder
.
longing for
the agate blue
of sky-reflecting
drops of dew,
.
of simple pleasures
on the skin
and tender truths
to wrap us in
.
fine threads of wisdom
knit with choices
weaving through
those distant voices
.
firing up
our tender hopes
while mating in
kaleidoscopes.
.
Then shall we
consummate the sun?
I wonder,
oh capricious one.
