Marmalade Highs
The First Dream I Remember
Half cut in fever pitch
with verdant eyes and a smile so wide it glides right through me
you stride around the beer-stained glass that's half full across our street
with your mermaid's mane of angel hair made from ten shredded wheat
and you lift me up
like the trophy cup
and bounce me on match-day glad tides
my pink bonnet all tootsie cute against the summery blue skies
i'm as light as air
i float away
into marmalade highs
tethered by your sandy hair
my heartstrings in disguise
