The Hyacinth Prince - Starlena Belle
poem read by Timothy Arliss OBrien
The Hyacinth Prince
Starlena Belle
beautiful earth,
full and calm
wither this ivy
that plucks the moss.
may your branches,
bark and green,
become soldiers
of decay that claim the land.
soft hyacinth,
tall and free,
bind this soil
that chews the petals.
may your fields,
open and wild,
run with seabirds
of youth that kiss the shells.
