Orchard

Tissues,
Talcum,
Dripping pablum
Soiled carpet

Mothers’ milk
Reluctant nostrils
Tenuous pockets
Lips parted

Unexpected exhumation.
Misdirected fluids
Lube the lobe of tongue.
Gurgled shower

Budding flower
Lamby Limbs
Loll and sway.
April day,

Warm and breezy
Blonde, fine hair
Through and through.
Combed and rattled.
Tattled
By its’ tail.
