Her lover’s hair

was a cornfield! She found

rippling on the pillow.

A tight rope

an ant might walk.

If it had to get daringly

from here to there.

I’ll story in the wings.

I’ll never get fresh.

Look! a wall

made of clouds.

You could fall asleep

in the shower

and wake up. Lying

in a field of rain the color

of skin coating you.
