Deadwood trees
like wiggly teeth
uprooting heath
carried off by the breeze–
cloudless sky
So high
So high
Further than balloons
dissolved in blue
Goodbye
Goodbye
Extra points for darkness. Interested to see what you guys come up with.

A nursery rhyme is like a tragic piece of history made into a kids game?
Gather round gather round
Everyone in town
Water washes everyone
Sitting on the ground
Run away run away
The wind comes out to play
Water washes everyone
Catch you if you stay
Peanut butter honey banana sandwiches

Monk in a box-box kite
flying so high
stands on his tip-toes
to embrace the sky.
Toes take a slip
down goes the monk
orange robes frolic and flip
till he lands with a plunk.
Monks below the sight
burn with delight,
death is just a game
without any shame,
next monk steps in
face one big grin.

The Bathing-Machine Chant
Sea shells on the shore
Fresh fish by the door
Do you want some more?
Door is SHUT.
Old bread on the floor
Jam you waited for
Can’t find at the store
Door is O-PEN.
Ring around the bore
Lion at the door
Oil that you can pour
Door is SHUT.
No one’s keeping score
Seagulls want to soar
Butterflies before
Door is O-PEN.
JUMP! JUMP!
JUMP! JUMP! JUMP!

Here we go round the panopticon
the panopticon, the panopticon
here we go round the panopticon
in a cold remorseless cosmos.
This is how we lost our minds
lost our minds, lost our minds
this is how we lost our minds
in a cold remorseless cosmos.
This is the way we see the end
see the end, see the end
this is the way we see the end
in a cold remorseless cosmos.
Now it’s time to mourn our dead
mourn our dead, mourn our dead
now it’s time to mourn our dead
in a cold remorseless cosmos.

I heard a splish
you heard a splash
a river ain't real
without mud
drip, drip, drop, drop
one in the middle
and one on the top
drip, drip, drop, drop
a lot ain't a little
and it never stops
I heard a swish
you heard a slash
a knife ain't steel
without blood
drip, drip, drop, drop
one on the bottom
and one on the top
drip, drip, drop, drop
you think you got 'em
but it never stops

Icy waves crashing!

You've all exceded my expectations! Here's a present.
