May Measure

© 2000 by Lynnette E. Fitch




  You let me climb you like a felled tree;
I clambered and frisked, from cap-a-pie.
I hope no old names are carved in you.

Sure but filthy-footed from the floor,
I gamboled and gamed, and gambled more.
I chose to play, and you joined in, too.

Beneath the beams of a Beltaine moon,
A dancer danced to a piper's tune.
Sound the piobaireachd, and please play me true.
