birthday poem

a little peach in the orchard grew
before the solemn bronze saint
with the meek, brown eyes
i have heard that a certain princess
friend, whose smile has come to be
with joy and wonder
behold me, in my chiffon, gauze and tinsel
in september
for then without
when the hours of day are numbered
we who stood
the sky
afraid no more, i say
musing, between the sunset and the dark
