coins on the plate
a collected of gifts
stolen in a flash
the slight of hand
a flare of rainbows
leap from diamonds
in my cuffs-links
a sacred moment
a clutch of dreams
wishes...
clear as a dragonfly's wings
prayers like dried-flowers
bound in a brittle bouquet
crack and smolder on the altar
a sacred moment
a clutch of dreams
hopes...
collected and redirected
in the haze of incense
song and dance, and
ritual hypnosis
dragons in the clover
laying eggs
beside clear streams
