James Walton #77 I wore a day as showy as




The Wonga vine is late
this long Spring year

like drunken party guests
who finally arrive
in tumbling blowsy silk

dancing a too close Latin
manes tangled in the distance

tries to chaperone
their pursed censure all bravado

as others depart slowly
pretending not to watch.
