Fairies

Love came laughing at the stars,

drunk on those tumbling stairs
Sucking life from flower tips
Seeking nectar droplets on lips
And I said to her, is this true
That he was with you here too?
And that naughty, nicotine night-laden
Lad smiled as though she were a maiden
I lit a lamp then in the silent full sky
And went on my way to watch fairies fly
