Purple

...My jeans I’d wear, twirling in the air
the cousins, loved those kids; I’d
see them hardly ever, flying, laughing,

for the lake to freeze,
and the for the creaking 
joints of bickering

Rum n Raisin 17 - Bird Talk

...Rum got to his feet and said, “Let’s go play in the street.”
Raisin said, “I’m up for that; some fresh air would be neat.”

trying to be up, I felt as shaky as a fawn,

Grouper and Bass
