The Queen of Cups

The Queen of Cups is happy tonight.
Her wavy silver hair reflects
the blue dusk and sliver
of moon

and swirls 
like a vortex of moving sky
as she dances
to the songs of 
a northern mockingbird.


Her eyes reflect the stars,
her laughter a counterpoint
to the calls of
the spring peepers

and when she lies down
in the grass 
her sleeping breath harmonizes
with the sound
of the stream that runs
just beyond the trees. - Jeff Barnes
