THANKS

My hair is sticky with caramel
from eating ice cream in the wind.
A barefoot girl in a silver skirt
skateboards across the plaza.
Her hair streams behind
in crow-black wings.
Trees are blossoming
in pink bursts of ecstasy.
A bearded man plays a guitar.
Thanks, many thanks,
to the god who designed all this.
So much love
we have yet to make...
