Champagne-sprinkled air

Light of flowers

Hail solidified in gold –

This is what they’ll give to you

for being who you are.

Champagne-sprinkled air

Light of flowers

Hail solidified in gold –

This is what they’ll give to you

for being who you’re not. 

Invincibility – 

only

to the luck-teethed winner 

with a bright mouth full of suns: 

the one 

who’s never counted

a single point or shot.
