Ethics (a tritina)

Ethics


8 Across a porcelain meadow
8 a jumble of sulphur winged squirrels,
8 jumble amongst winter's ginger,

8 fragrant glowing-scarlet ginger
8 coursing through this drill-pressed meadow,
8 this melancholy of squirrels,

8 four frisky first-birthday squirrels
8 avenging moose-broken ginger
8 harmonizing with Spring's meadow.

12 Squirrels replant ginger buds
by a meadow-spring.
