Kite Flyer

Oh, you fearless high flyer,

         Tree crasher,

                  Nose diver,

                            Loop the looper.

Where is your home,

You homemade wonder?

Who is the hero holding your fate?

 

Yesterday’s newspapers, twigs and twine

Loosely bound with flour paste.

Rag bag tail of red and paisley

Waiting for the wind to

Do its splendid magic

Lifting you so you can dance

Among the clouds,

Making gawkers strain their necks

With careless wonder at your ease.

 

And I, your pilot,

Groundsman, soul mate,

I am the master of your sky.
