I want to ...
I want to unscrew the moon
And replace the yellow tungsten bulb
In your ceiling
So you could lie in is pale light.

I want to gather the stars
And scatter them across your floor
So you could feel what it is to walk on air,
Just as I walk on air when I'm with you

I want to take the bright blue pigment
From the sky and paint your room
So you would always be calm

I would like to make all the clouds
Into a single cottony ball
A pillow for your head.

I want to read you a poem
That will melt your heart so thoroughly;
I will spread it on my toast for breakfast.
