A word with the Garden
There was a silent man who spoke to me
He had enslaved hands and wrote for free
I starred into his eyes in his stillest moment
He walked with trees and flew the breeze
He had yet to move not for any please
He helped me find my watch to time him
Not even his reflection would dim
He drank my blood with a sealed mouth
I was careful to watch for garments of the south
He told me my name was on his palm
That is what made my river calm
I took him out for dinner and he followed
Yet he never moved his food was swallowed
He showed me the rainbow of women and men
He had multiple reflections yet no twins
There was a giant snow storm
He fed me a strand of his hair and I became warm
I killed this man forgetting the vexation of his call
He never moved but the garden, what a venomous fall
