Still

Just after the peak experience

Or not long after making love

Out on the highway

Somewhere between

The street and the sky


Old houses, flowered gardens

Mysterious celebrations

Untouched garlands, just out of reach

In the soft haze of summer

Or back beyond past centuries


Trinkets, fairies, and geodesic domes

Flounce flared skirts

Tapes to the maypole

Twisted with skips only knowing of joy

Wrapping the joy of unconditional love


Still, time reflects on ever

As feet in dappled water

Out on the sandbank

Somewhere between

The neap and the tide


Still, lines reflect now never

Meet my star-spangled daughter

Wow, way out of the moment

Somewhere between

Here and why
