treehouse

you and me
in a tree
branches
for shelves
gamelan bells
sawing away
all day
all day
sawing away
you and me
in a tree
milk and coffee
flour and eggs
a table a desk
a dresser a bed
we are a community of two
so much to do
i..ve got the apron
and the hips
i..m busy i..m sweeping
up wood chips
you..ve got the hammer
and the saw
all day
all day
sawing away
you and me
in a tree
tangled limbs
sawing away
your arms and a dog
to keep us safe
i..m at the sewing machine
all day
all day
a community of two
with so much to do
milk and coffee
flour and eggs
aprons and hammers
aching legs
branches for shelves
gamelan bells
sawing away
all day
all day

He dates to stroll

failed frenetic directed he would do the inevitable for the first time

abnormally precious are the ends of his attempt and the awakening that he dates to stroll

he closes his consciousness he broods about birds, tigers, fruit, reproduction, twigs and leaves

he learns to walk checks to see if he likes it looks at her looks away

failed frenetic directed he would do the inevitable for the first time
