Morning Maid (Free verse) by Enkidu
Ivory, iron, aluminum, glass
Statues of nothingness
Particles pass
In through the front and out
Through streaming smoke
Breathe candor and reek elation
Probe hearths for heart's salvation
Cowards court cranes
Whilst children gather arms
And rabbits run
Go in greens and come in white
Pull the stitching from the night
Bet the garden's gain and celebrate
The harvest
Drink iris and shout kisses
Poke fun at the misses
Be weary for an instant's injury
As we chase attraction with satin smiles
Quit the mob and be little rings
On the fingers of kings
Sell hellos by the barrow in Sunday shade
Elicit glances from the morning maid
And cover
Each other
With flowers from a robin's grave
