Oh! Letters

let us go
to that place
where pigs grow wings.
i will hold you tight
so  you and i may lean
upon ebony ladders of vines
against the flowing ocean of skies.

For your lips gleam
in the sea shell of the moon--
and are far more imaginative
--more pleasing pressing .
Than the mazes the letters 
make living in the depths of books.

For words  trick us into seeing 
other worlds rising 
on the turning paper of our minds.
