hence two years


    two years ago  
  Buddying stairs    
Climbing     of coffee, running
  two years ago   leaping strawberry cup
    it can't be, really  
hastily official words   wild ideas come unannounced  
  sketched fragile thoughts    
    you're joking  
    stairs for could it be that
  those  
we were there together
  up dancing word upon word  
  delicate reigned tripping innocently    
two years   hanging not even a refill  
  before that cup    
  a cup    
  straw coffee sketched fragile  
    buried deep  
  ideas wild   in undiluted thoughts
how could it be   thyme ?  
  that of  
    dancing in the reign  



Climbed Buddying stairs, two years ago, it can't be, really?
   leaping strawberry cup of coffee, running

      hastily official words, sketched fragile thoughts
         you're joking, wild ideas come unannounced,
             for could it be that we were there, together,
                dancing word upon word hanging not even a refill
                   for delicate reigned tripping innocently
                      up those stairs, two years before that cup,
                         a cup straw coffee buried deep in
                            undiluted thoughts sketched fragile, wild ideas,

                               how could it be, that dancing in the reign of thyme?
