fine burgers & drinks
A kettle whistles
As the crystal water
Reaches a boil
Hot steam
Ejects itself from
The spout
As a baby plays
In the blazing mist
His soft flesh
Thin as tissue
Dissolves away
As he laughs
Away at
Images of Big Bird
Dancing away
His mother
Sits at a window
Sipping hot tea
As she watches
The gardener dig
Into her flower
With a huge
Spade
The babies
Flesh is gone
As his laughs
Floats away
With the steam
The kettle stops
As all the
Water has
Boiled away
And
The mother
Gleefully watches
The sweaty gardener
Dig into her flower
As she sips her
Tea
