Window open
This hot satin afternoon
Room evaporates into
Milk on the breeze
The tree trunk
Expands and contracts
My ribcage
Expands and contracts
Paradise
Where the trees give milk
In return for nothing
Milk the tree
Milk the tree
Milking the tree
Milking it
Up and down
In my best earnest
Milk on satin
Is the exquisite dress
To sleep in
Afternoon
