I dance though none may lead.
The sky conducts my silver choir,
With every passing breeze.

I cast a lattice at the sun.
With open squares I parcel time,
Till fruit and shade are won.

By echo, spark, and strain.

And keeps the maker’s aim.

I run but never roam.
I speak in rings that fade to hush,
And leave no path to home.

A ghost upon the plain.

Then vanish once again.

My coat is wind and thread.
I shout without a tongue at all,
And keep the hungry fled.

And take my orders from a star.
My house has ribs and canvas wings,
My wages: salt and tar.

Where stars and shells align.

Made round where waters run.

And skip when thrown for fun.
