May Dance
By Peggy June
Drawing by Tristyn Kent
  
The trees are budding
The birds flirting with each other.
The sun, the glorifying light and warmth make me dizzy --
The Maypole, the spinning of the earth
(What is an axis and where is it made?)
The vertigo of life
It's all so wonderful. I turn loose of the ribbon,
Fall down, exhausted, and laugh --
Giggle, really -- at the cleverness of it all.
