“The Tattoo Garden
of Capella”
By Michael H. Brownstein
Almost five,
the sun still brightens the sky
Winter in the Tattoo Garden of Capella,
the ink less obtrusive,
its coloring calm and clean,
soft white cotton linen,
fine lined with the nibs of fine pens.
But it is never cold,
even with drifts and white ice,
icicle skating,
tobogganing down frozen falls,
cross country snow boating,
carving tunnels beneath richly designed snow.
Almost five,
The sun still brightens the sky.

Michael, this poem toys with my sense of sense, tickling me with the possibility that I might, if I puzzled at the poem a while, glean some sense in it. Thank you for ever being a challenge, in language unputdownable.
