Shoot it if it rhymes

Let Us

One day, beloved,

Let’s measure the path

From sand to sky,

From moonbeam to sun-ray,

From shark-fin to eagle-crest.

Let’s hold each other

By our little fingers, and

Dream together

Till the gripe water

From our babyhoods blend.

Let’s lie on our backs

On sawdust, counting

The feathers on each pink

Cloud.

Let’s lie on our faces

On a whale-back fountain,

Waltzing, for a change,

With our eyelashes.

Let us.
