propitious

 propitious 


my mother had a clothes prop   long

outside of the tent of the garden it rose

to blow in the winds of the wind’s highest sky

i was knee high to a nettle back there in the fifties

leaning on a neck over looking life in the eye

before all the fences blew over them days

and i flew far away on the wings of this memory

the power of a prop in a blue sky far away
