The sun is slanting
into afternoon
turning down the day
soft as remembered laughter
distilled vigor
its orange ball
nestled in white crinoline
falls into magenta
I hear a dove
call three times
to the dancing tip of a tree
listening unplugged
melts the taciturn temper
of the last down sky
as a wilted spirit seeks to explain
the triumph
of one perfect rose.
