birthday poem

i've won the race
i had over-prepared the event
the lightning flashed, and lifted
gaily through the fields we danced
sweet with fern and rose
all down the years
love has been sung a thousand ways
a sky that has never known sun, moon or stars
i am in love with high far-seeing places
out of me unworthy and unknown
who will be naming the wind
short and sweet, and we've come to the end of it
very well, you liberals
