Remarveling

All coffee must now have cardamom.

All kisses, watermelon traces.

All wisdom, a touch of the marvelous.

All night-running, the gaze of the owl.

All daydreams must be touched by lavender

And ringed by willows.

All thoughts must be leapt over by frogs.

All tears, buoyed by the ocean.

All memories must contain morning mist

And songbird calls.

All handshakes, a trace of quartz.

All stairway steps, the glint of rubies.
