Once In the Land of Walkside
Once In The Land Of Walkside
Once in the land of Walkside
See blue the leaf sighed
Electric passed through rainbows by the tides
Sky fixed itself a drink of day in pastel gray
Trees naked, bare of green, shape themselves into tomorrow
Shade Fades with yellows on the march
Sun hung there outside to dry
Here comes a list…. Take notes
String, paper, bald gorgo, square sand, chalk, iron, refineries
List is finished. Stop taking notes.
Seas that rumble on the Walkside slide away
Stairs and ladders go on in one direction
Here comes another list. Take more notes
Salt, vegetation, carbon, more bald gorgos, bubble tower, starch, lemon
End of list…. Stop taking notes
Electricity once came in multicolored bands
Moved only to the left
Time ran back on calculated circles in the watch
Here comes another list… Prepare to take notes
Water, insect prayer, coin, great plates, no more gorgos, metal, more lemon,
stone
Lists ended… No more notes…. Stop taking notes
Morning pinks are incomplete but happy
See blue the leaf sighed
Once in the land of Walkside
