11 august

more than i meant to say words in the way of sense and also to mention the sky is full of awe
missed the moon for a headache and traded the rain for a song
long after crickets spoon thick sounds from the dark trees we will feed on berries and cream
too far beyond the season we freeze our ears and hear only alternating notes
boats on a nearer shore with oars too short to reach
we teach our parents well with accidental comeuppance
tuppance a song and leftover lines to chorus
implore us to leave off and we pull over
stoves too hot for salaries and meals too cheesy for cows
we are now where then is hard to tell a liberty belle of the basket ball
call me when you're ready and the boat's about to sink
i will think through all the neverminds and hold my breath for good
