WEDDING RING POEM
If you wake up
And go about all day
And find your wedding ring
And engagement ring
Asleep in the sleeps,
Is it a sign?
If you brush your hair
And small swallows fly out,
Is it a sign?
If you sleep on your back
And find a tiny glass deer
In your belly button,
Curled up;
If your bones turn to gold;
If your lashes
Cover radioactive eyes,
If a nail breaks and splits,
And a tiny thorn
Grows in its place;
If you learn to fly in the dark,
If you wake up
With a green tongue
Speaking Abyssinian and Greek,
If a hummingbird follows you home;
If the moon gets stuck in your tree;
If over your house
There are only red suns,
Is it a sign?
Is it enough?
Is it ever enough? |
