With Luck
A poem by Larissa Reid
The June breeze bends sunlight into horseshoes;
Swallows furl and feed under steeple eaves.
Land and sky exchange sly glances,
Then quietly swap places.
Over a galaxy of white stars
That dip and fold and flicker,
The church bell rings a wedding into being.
Chervil confetti and a weaving of promises
As neat and supple as the eel hives
Slipped into willow shallows.
