Leafy Bones

Child

For something a bit more light hearted...

Xylophone player I wanted tin

drums, triangle, piano piece not
glockenspiel mahogany.
ma-harmony two
possibilities,
brown or red sauce?
Penny feat jaws
everyone stay in doors
till it thaws
but its your heavy footed
mouth-
ing lips,
I got up to.
Hard little cupids
gently pull me out the snow,
making angels till my hair drips
from the exhaustion
of loving in the living
flesh, they say-
bringing out the smile-
r.
