Clair de lune

 Day Sixteen




Shades of nocturne in
how tiny bee feet negotiate
the cherry blossom.
Delicate notes on ivory.

An economy of calm, filling hearts
like pollen baskets.
A quiet garden, growing.
Stem and stamen swaying.

Here, the refrain.
The low-slung apple-tone
in a cloud of minor keys.
A memo in fading fermata.

But - for now - a crescendo
of thriving life glistening;
holly-blue wind-rippled sun
Dappling shade about the tadpoles.

A heralding wren pips,
Hanabi translated means fire-flower.
Inflorescence fanfares
in my purple-flaming umbel heart.

In taking flight, 
the bee gratefully 
applauds her feet upon the petals.
