we uh
at that saffron balloon
sunrise
seizing the sky
and we’re listening
for the bumble-buzz
of bee
and be.
the world is all
squawk squawk squawk
and talk of war
-nings and fire and we
have to warble loud
to stay un
-stressed.
it’s best to pencil
in the rest, slow slur
-blur shades of graphite,
whispered to a murmured
page.
perhaps the purring
trees will have something
less to say. quiet now,
love.
and let’s just tre(m)ble
clef the rest.

In April, we poem.
This poem is so lovely on so many levels.
“saffron balloon
sunrise”
Gah, that’s gorgeous.
Crazy about the title. Deeply feel the sentiment of the whole poem.
