Indian cypress tree
Withering in wind from the torrent hills
Full of brag rocks and stickle pearls
Makes a face in sand deep as chemistry

Jangle the leaves
From top of the ocean covered clouds
And haggled wisker pine cones
Seeds for a future generation

Camera lens mud
Quenching light from the ladder
Nursing ladle of another pot
Invisible lead sheet full of shotgun shells

Travel the ocean
Take to the sea by albatross
Tie the pillow cases together
Flap your hands like a hummingbird
