China Cat Sunflower

Look for awhile at the China Cat Sunflower, proud-walking jingle in the midnight sun
Copper-dome Bodhi drip a silver kimono, like a crazy-quilt stargown
through a dream night wind

Krazy Kat peeking through a lace bandana, like a one-eyed Cheshire
like a diamond-eye Jack, a leaf of all colors plays a golden string fiddle
to a double-e waterfall over my back

Comic book colors on a violin river, crying Leonardo words
from out a silk trombone I rang a silent bell
beneath a shower of pearls in the eagle wing palace
of the Queen Chinee
