Do they have trees where you're from?
Do the children eat out of garbage cans?
Calm surface
Is this it, love?
What was given, given over?
We had a Dalmation
And we ate on the patio surrounded by dahlias
I look to see my aunt
She has skin so white that it reminded me of vanilla ice cream
The moon hiding in her hair
Lily
Of heaven
Full of all dreams
Draws down
We used to have a Dalmation
And we used to eat on the patio surrounded by dahlias
Yellow water
Yellow soil
What was given over, given back.
