A Capella, A Cape, Agape

      Dun Madonna, caped and veiled 
      By modest night, the color of shale, 
      Unclench the spools 
      Of moroser weather 
5     Tucked by fingers beneath your vermillion cap. 
       
      Unclench the spools 
      Of angrier rains and redder tornadoes 
      From your tense cap 
10    While the violet moon's sisterly sap 
      Drips bip, and bip, and bap, bap, bap. 
       
      Her slender tongue 
      Unwrapped the whitest portions of the night. 
15    In the hills, green winds prevail.
