“Your sons and daughters shall prophesy,
your old people shall dream dreams,
and your young people see visions.”
(Joel 3: 1, New Jerusalem Bible)

Heavenly amalgamation called to lift the eyes
of little ones to the heartbeat flutter of wings,
an idling of celestial engines right here, now,

recess of children weary of A, B, Cs,
arithmetic of numbers up. No more
circling the sidewalks of playing it safe.

Look! There are angels preening in trees,
surprise of sudden, unexplainable laughter,
joy to the whirl, crown of playground trees.
