is there any greater joy than sprinklers, in the morning-light
and the grass, beaded and lush, under the hot sun
is there any joy greater than your feet on the sidewalk
and your legs steady and moving?
the blood rushing through your limbs
washing away the dry fever of the night
under the blue, blue sky
the moon sank
and the houses across the hillsides
hold the stars in trust
