Long before Saint Patrick,
leather-footed musicians
would keyhole dawn
to catch the sun in ice
candles.
They played those flames on
strings,
their spikes of sound,
for children’s whistling
eyes and lunatics,
who, in their distance,
danced.
Fire caged in ice, ice in
their hand;
music lit from within;
ambition began;
separation became a beauty.
