Just for today<\/span><\/p>\n

May words bloom flowers<\/span><\/p>\n

May a honeyed tenor lull the afternoon<\/span><\/p>\n

May Baldwin preach artistry<\/span><\/p>\n

May Nina know how it feels to be free<\/span><\/p>\n

May Billie\u2019s summer fruit be forever familiar and sweet<\/span><\/p>\n

May dreams come true<\/span><\/p>\n

Let this silk robe<\/span><\/p>\n

this porch-side paradise be all there is\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

as unknown insects quiver in the noontide<\/span><\/p>\n

Let the dense milky clouds break\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

spilling golden yolk<\/span><\/p>\n

beautifully over all of it<\/span><\/p>\n
