There are giraffes the size of
marshmallows, licking eucalyptus leaves
hanging loosely from the trees,

Eat: This will pass
This is shadow

There are bears the size of
Sunflowers, drinking honey from
tall tipped vases
swallowing sun drops
of springtime
.
Drink: This is temporary
This will pass

There are bees circling like wings in a tornado of
birds. Forming vacuum funnels to carry us into
—.

Be Merry: This will pass
This is ash.

This is dark early morning shadow fog dissipating into morning.
