Sunlight
hiding in the shirtsleeves
hanging on the clotheslines
in the grey backyard.
A gust of wind
sends the leaves to the white
clouds with aching bellies.
Drunken peasant
carries the moon over the barn
and fell asleep inside his dream
of a barn full of dreams.
In the morning
a white kid is born
to a white goat
under the new sun.
And then the wind grow violent,
but it ran into the frame and stopped.
