Utah

Utah (cont'd)

Just past the horizon

Nature rouges and bedizens

Red rock beauties for the show,

So perhaps a fish could know

Just once a year,

An extravagance of color, in the clear

Blue sky:

Blown high,

Petals from a bright bouquet

In the hour when day

Breaks us from the earth

And suspends us high in mirth.

That laughing hour -- bring it soon --

The fish with a balloon

Will fly.
