smoothed

beneath the dapple blue
she lived 
daffodil pierced to sunshine 
copper freckled 
immortal
a penny at the bottom of a pool in June
spark
sparked
sparking
did I say immortal?
everlasting fullness 
dipped in the glimmer of Nebraska afternoons 
and
pony perfection 
on fortunes wheel she turns
worn
weary
waiting 
lucky in loves lonely opalescence 
pearled & tossed 
upon the river stones 
to 
inhabit the spirit of white birch trees in February
