the entirety of the

When we go out 
to the...

Across the rows, across the aisles
I look at you, you look at me
Unspoken, yet I can’t deny

I chased the elf in silenced hush
Around intoxicating pines
And mossy-covered hanging vines

Taking care to mark the way 
With petals dropped from rose bouquet
My distance safe from prying eyes
And forest creatures’...

These ever-ready logs
Ready to assemble ants of cowries;
They dance from sea to land
Wishing to be titled by exigent gods
Who watch over their lonely coronations
Lavished with sacrificial songs!

And stay with no regrets
One day we will lose them
Due to our careless mind

If we shrewdly use time
And distribute it equitably
Our success is assured
