Ariel by Sara Booth

Please god, don't let me get trapped
in one of those
pastel worlds
where everything is
white bread,
iceberg lettuce,
45% cotton 55% polyester,
Muzak.
I want to live
copper, blue-green, burgundy

satin and sailcloth
the
sea at midnight,
the
sky at noon.
Don't let me live earthbound
with my eyes on my
lawn
or in my neighbor's windows.
I want to soar
sail
splash
like a kite.
Let me frame the sky
and hang it on my wall.
Let me keep the
mountains
in a box under my bed.
----

Amen.
