Bring them.

Bring them,

...one by one

Every day.

Every day,

...stem by stem

In your teeth.

In your teeth,

...step by step

To my feet.

To my feet...

Oh, confounded, just come empty handed!

We'll pick dandelions from the cracks

of the walkway out back,

And toss straight water from the tap,

If you'll only wrap yourself around

these wilted shoulders now,

And let us bask...
