Kids From the Village

Just the town children ne'er
feasted a forest of one tree's
in a labyrinth of the uninvited
stirs like cream in cocoa
--rightfully aloof

Their eyes steeped in a delft brew
brimmed by clamourous whispers
of an ephemeral sound alights a tortoise
yet ne'er have tea
--unwittingly

Juxtaposition compares bears none to
contrast, ne'ertheless, true to form,
town children
--they'd be.
