landscape, with tea

.

i want to marry earl grey and move to the mountains

live on scones and color song, dreams and folded lawn

breathe in fresh and ripple and whisper pine

.

on a raft in the center of a lake named time

.

we’ll dress the moon in ribbons and hang petals from stars

strip the sunset of orange and use it as fire

never-wait for dawn and sip the scent of every howl

.

from an island of boulder, shoulder and bone

.

to warm our toes in the quilt of forgiveness

steep our hearts in the river of revolution

soothe our skin with the afterglow of room

.

beneath our sky tent bird fingered curious home

.

.
