LILTING

tight was the twist of the tin screw on maple
light was the tilt of the dappled sun’s shaft

green were the trees above grass stained knees all afield
brave was the lilt of their slow traipse towards the grave

tuneful is the soul moan of bagpipes' meander a'mourning
deep blue is the heart bruised of my tearful young son
