Rainbows at her fingertips
pulsing with music, magic, believable myths.
Seduction of one-eyed dreams,
a galaxy speaking through a leaf
left hanging in the dilapidated rake
where I found her legal pad letter--
riffs of smoke and jazz still floating
over the bed of glass roses.
Time, destiny lingers like fireflies
in a field where horses are always running
toward some fragmented sunset.
