CHILD ON A SWING
I saw this child
among an alchemy of angels 
polished, sun-bright
brazen in flying delight
he went skyways high
hair aureoled, mouth wide in shout
eyes tight against the drive
of straight legs, curved body
up, up, to join
the catching, rushing crowd
of white-thrust, deep-sailed seraphim
almost, he touched
the worn patch of earth
as, feet tucked, body arched
he carved back, back, and up
until the clouds held him
met his laughter, round, jubilant
ecstatic in poise of song
until down rush, down swoop
the swing brings him
uproarious in his heaven
