A SECRET KISS…..
When the onyx sky transforms
brilliant midnight sparkles
to a spectacular array of gold,
orange, red, and purple dawn,
Swango Princess blows
a secret morning kiss
through a wall of wispy river-fog
to Big Chief, the proud leader
of Abenaki, admiring her
from a bed of dewy ferns
across the Kennebec River.
Another sanguine day
awakens in Dawnland.
