“Sunshine cannot bleach the snow, Nor time unmake what poets know.”

It breaks,
this day. Open,
like an egg. In golden strings,

It flees,
this breeze. Broken
in its own shell. We tell it stories,
and it carries them far.
A saffron lollipop of
longing, an unmelting
sorrow. A song bubble.
An orange rind, wound
’round. A portal for
dragons.
