pick up the guitar

songs of gypsies and wilted sunflowers
dried blood on the dashboard
cigarettes in our rivers
a polar bear and his melting foundation
falling asleep on the couch

i'm in your arms
sighing

still dripping
bathing suit hanging
in the shower
well water
well in these waters

strumming to the
flea bites and chickens
the smell of composting oak leaves
a purple egret scratching her head
with a nobbed stick leg
a frog hitting his note
slowly slowing

sip it
sip
drip
