big yella’s back

 

it’s been tough

we’ve had to make our own sun here

anything yellow would help

 

old socks

and sometimes a toe shows through

 

remembered gleam

old tins of it

and spray

 

a muddy sun

at least it was ours

 

but now big yella’s back

you’d think a little sheepish

after all this time

 

no way!

way!

it’s a glare eyed creature

 

sudden skyfull

 

does that shine and glisten thing

that’s first phase of the sun

 

you’d like to drive this chariot but

those reins are really hot

 

shines on this page where I write

how’d-you-do?

 

and I wonder, big yellow –

how do you do this blue?

 

now see all

 

the bee and the bushrat

blink and gone

 

a flowering out of the rain

 

this fellow’s here to show worlds to themselves

here to make all things new
