26. WILLOW

Willow rides an old green

Fat-tire girl's Schwinn

With fenders and high handlebars.

She handmade this huge cloak with a hood

Which entirely covers not only herself

But also both front and rear wheels of her bike

When she rides down streets in the Oregon rain.

She hand-embroidered

The celtic design.

She is a decendant of clan Cameron

And she is a fine painter

And pianist

And a performer.

And she is a jewel of a friend

To everyone who knows her.

She spends half her time wandering the world

So none of her friends get to see her nearly enough

To fill their dreams

Like they all want her to.
