think thick

think thick and tall,
think bold and brawl, run through and around, attack the ground, softly, swiftly, over rhythm and sound. you reach in, you grab me. i keep looking, i keep just staying, still. singing, softly.

you run over, you sommersault over, you come closer and slow down and bring your face right up next to my face and you open your eyes wide and you lean in and down and look straight at

and i turn over, curl in, curl up, roll around, a tight ball, and i slip out a crack in the hill and slip down and through into an entirely different ocean, an entirely different PLACE, this one full of thick air and fog, full of strange smells and orange light. the sun is setting and i shiver.
