Whiskey is a slippery everything

quick with black shaking flame

a squirrel dashes up a curious tree

shaping the hurry of sudden wind

Why do I love espresso?

because I like the taste of chocolate

why do I love Sarah?

because she looks like Sally

when I do without

you can see, why it doesn't matter

We marry the kind look

the crumbling vision of perfect towns

the scream of hushed streets

jolly hills scolded in snow

the woods resigned to being trees

sparrows who have no inkling of the sky
