Quiver


What is a wish?
  1
Does it emanate,
And can it orchestrate
A change in fate?
Can instruments detect it
Like a magnet wave?

Were flower-sellers slyly nudged
  7
To station carts correctly
Where rose-needing Romeos arrive by train?
Or was the bee's blood stirred
To kiss out extra sugar
Into their declarative bunches?

Do prayers shake off clouds
  13
To keep naked the moon?
Jostle pearly shells to shore
For Juliet's beach jaunt?
Encourage birds to croon
Reminding her of his flute-song?

My hunter's case is loaded:
  19
I draw long and launch
Honest arrows all hours
Dipped in liquid dream-fire,
To level walls between
Young hearts worldwide.
