a little poem for my paper brolly


MY CHINESE UMBRELLA


My Chinese umbrella
But a sweet souvenir
Of birdsong
And dimsum
and everything dear

By lanterns and gloworms
By fireflies by sprite
Illuminous
two of us
dreaming of flight


We float in the atmosphere
A buttermilk sky
Both weightless
Like jellyfish
We glide and we glide

My dreams travel eastern
to grow and embilow
But my heart stays in England
With river and willow
