A Star bird.

A Star bird

A coconut stands 
a slice of flesh 
with two 
dark orange legs 
a feathery white island 
black circle 
surrounded by gold 
with yellow beak 
brighter than Olympic medal 
A peace crane stands 
in front of a bull 
a bull 
big bull 
with no face 
or crane face 
its a bubble in a dream 
painted with colour 
spiky sharp green grass 
reaches for the crane 
in front 
of the 
bull 
paws 
thick like a puddle 
full of petrol 
purple rainbows 
green the bull is 
a muddy silhouette 
a sheep a human 
with horns 
is a puddle a bubble within a dream? 
I blink 
and realise 
its a beautiful painting 
in a book 
A crane stands on the back of a bull 
which is 
stomping 
through the 
tall grass 
if we could speak 
you the crane, the bull, the sheep, the book 
the grass and I, 
to the dancing weather would we say 
we are not dreams of bubbles, puddles 
or paintings 
each of us is real here 
one in a Caribbean dozen 
so don't close your eyes 

even when you blink 
keep looking.
