o fair child 

of man

won't you come 

again?

/

I'll build you a bed

where vervain stalks the land

lithops springs from stone

vines dance

and deer prance

patches of fur

clinging to bleached bone

/

the bluebell rings

the bluebird sings

the rythm of

fluttery leaves

flirting with the wind

beneath her blue, blue wings

/

tell me, do you still fear

the foxglove's sting?

/

fair child

of man

won't you come

again?

/

I'd like to feast with

on

off you

teach you

the honeysuckle's airy kiss

delight you

the primrose's merry bliss

/

all you must do

is let me build

your name

on the roof of my mouth

syllables shaped against

stairs of teeth, with velvet tongue

the same one I'll run

down your pebbled flesh

the bud of you

/

as you come undone

and come 

again

/
