linden – linden wing #2

linden wing #2
~
thin green pale
I hoist my, turn my
tapered, paper sail
to wind-tasks, two
~
first I nudge my mast
of flowers, rudder
to the breeze, my pollen-folk
hitch a ride with the bees
each captured grain a triumph
each launch a score
~
later, I loose my mooring
detach, hoist spinnaker and main
samara of linden
and passenger seeds
sail away
~

I agree with Carol. The words do sail. Beautiful. 🙂

The sounds of the words in this poem sail themselves through the air as I read it aloud. Lovely.
