I will put in the box the swish of a silk sari on
a summer night,fire from the nostrils of a
Chinese dragon,the tip of a tongue touching a
tooth.
4
I will put in the box a snowman with a rumbling
bellya sip of the bluest water from Lake
Lucerne,a leaping spark from an electric fish.
5
I will put into the box three violet wishes
spoken in Gujarati,the last joke of an ancient
uncle,and the first smile of a baby.
6
I will put into the box a fifth season and a
black sun,a cowboy on a broomstickand a witch
on a white horse.

My box is fashioned from ice and gold and
steel,with stars on the lid and secrets in the
corners.Its hinges are the toe joints of
dinosaurs.
8
I shall surf in my box on the great high-rolling
breakers of the wild Atlantic,then wash ashore
on a yellow beach the colour of the sun.
