Making Music at Folly Farm

Tonight I drive to the farm
along a tree-lined roller-coaster road –

the sky, a careless undresser,
throws off her purple coat,

sheds her Versace ra-ra.
Her lilac ribbons criss-cross

in a breeze from the Isis. I lie
on the patchwork of land

beneath the naked sky
and hear him tuning up.
