the first through the last

you wander slowly through my mind
waking what was napping

and if a gossamer thread
could hold a dream
this one would bethe first spin

if the shell fragments flung
when the world egg cracked
could find themselves in fragile ivory
and form a star
it would be the second

if the quicksilver of your smile
could fall on the wayside
and I could find it for my pocket
it would be the third

if I could stand in the shade of your breath
and feel the warm in and out
touch my hands
it would be the fourth

and if a reed
whistling green notes
could call you to my side
and I could keep you
it would be the last

oh

it would be the last
