The Kite
March 1979


“The Kite,” New Era, Mar. 1979, 52

The Kite

by Marion Schoeberlein

I can make

a hole in the wind

with my kite.

I can find

The bluest places

in the sky,

The best clouds.

I know why

They put them

On a string:

That way you hold

Onto everything

That’s free and easy.

And you fly—

Just standing still

You own the sky!
