I’ll put them all together – gussied up
like the ruffled panties of the eighteenth
century, waves of forbidden delight
I’ll build my own hut made of turf and moss
*
in its own décor, on the mantelpiece
all these comfortable bits are aligned:
pine cones, candles, reed sticks, golden honey
sweet caramel and creamy vanilla
*
to bring the most enjoyable pleasure
the aroma of hot apple crumble
fills the air with homey ambience as in
the most welcomin’ inn – heart of the hearth
*
you said that only happy birds fly high
I wonder if that’s still true till today
*

if it doesn't come bursting out of you
in spite of everything,

and your gut,
