to sit still

tonight i am a tadpole
lavished with coo's
of candor

yet spells of pond scum
intoxicate my sensibility

for within this familiar pond
lurks thine lilies that
sink in fleeting rapture

the stars,
the moss,
and grasshopper metronomes
replete with whimsical rejoice,
chant incantations

that rollie pollies come to witness,
lovingly humbled
and lulled to sleep
