on its way home
the kite carries
in its wings
the orange love
of the setting sun
______________
with abounding joy
fraught with risk and danger
clinging together they move
through the neighbourhood-
elopement
______________
wishing to relish
the abounding beauty
I dallied-
and settled finally
with the ugly
