Kite   by Bruce Morton

She was beautiful, decked out
In color stretched, taut over
Spar and spine, tail would dance,
Shoulders and waist to the wind.

There was a stability in her bows.
My touch was never quite right,
She’d rise when the line was tight
Then twist when I let it slacken.

To this day I cannot say for sure
Who it was who played whom.
Was it she who broke free in a gust
Or in the toss and tug I just let go.
