thin legged

kids dressed in large sweaters,

wooly and limerent,

and touchy,

get the kids together

for some makeup writing

and they write as herds running

then coming to a stop

when early memory rolls

in late night courtyards,

these lavender thrillings,

go well with kept delusion,

yes, right here

the warm around

kids dressed up by the parents by the way

up a tree

so rooted

touching things

touching everything

spring and nothing for it

but woodpeckers and woodcutters

splashing

making waves around

it's cold with short sleeves

when you’re coming down to size

this early morning

rainy and giggly

like a sheep-sheared tremble

so wooly and limerent
