Sidhe by Kenneth Pobo

Sidhe The White People of Tutha d' Danaan, by Leonora Carrington, 1954.

Sidhe
 
As a kid, you wanted to be a juggler. 
Even now you hope
that one of the balls that Dana,
 
a white bull and wonderful mother,
tosses up is a star that bolts from her chest--
she doesn’t drop a single one.
 
You could stay here all night,
but you’ve imposed long enough.
You leave a gift, songs
made from blue delphiniums.
