442
down to earth 
for Tony Lintermans 
after the wind 
the grass upstanding 
far corners gather in 
the happy whisker 
its own colour 
to a beard 
and plucky 
where the snow has fallen 
does happiness have any direction?
it's often before the event 
or it's amorphous amounting 
so you couldn't call a cause 
easy to list what sets off the recognition 
every declaration of peace has this substrate 
even the wish to share 
just about everything 
for instance
it's your star 
go on 
I caught it falling 
so happy it's for you 
 
Beautiful poem!
