Spring is icumen in<\/strong><\/p>\n

\u00a0<\/strong><\/p>\n

For JK<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I called your name<\/p>\n

And \u00a0the goldfinches twirled ribbons<\/span><\/p>\n

Of song<\/span><\/p>\n

Scissoring the air<\/p>\n

A robe<\/p>\n

Of silk<\/p>\n

Of fire<\/p>\n

Emptying their hollow bones of music<\/span><\/p>\n

Offering the chance melody of twilight<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

I called your name<\/p>\n

And the goldfinches stitched its syllables to the stars<\/p>\n

And bore you on wings of flame<\/p>\n

Now you are the gold of dusk,<\/p>\n

The silence where songs happen.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n
