Sonnet

      When (singing to the silent wide of your
      eyes) I find that small almost innocuous birds
      have dealt with the thunderous evening increments
      by shedding their shells (into your eyes) orange
5     speckled crying (for to breathe is to die) will you
      my most sweetly taut unstrummable note
      (placid in pride of your calm) will you (I
      want to know) take my new unfolding hands
      spread for a dismal uncommon febuary sun,
10    sky dancing in the light of forever, breezed
      with original ironicless laughter, cackling dawn,
      and sew them up with a seamless surgary
      meticulous, as a rose locked away in its leaves
      eternally fruitless unbudded disaster or what?
