Balconied Trees

WHEN awakened by a sudden thing as Life
what to do?

i took my mouth in hand and walked down
the mountain to a river.  My curious tale
behind me it was the bleat of a sound within
my throat that ragweed spoke.

  Never a mystery as the ones i've met
have potted the balconied trees upon the
rows of my thoughts.

There!  A sparrow that has fallen from 
my dreams into the progress of strawberry-
wax lullabies i had once forgotten.
