THE CONSTELLATION OF THE GIRL FROM WALLA-WALLA
THE CONSTELLATION OF THE GIRL FROM WALLA-WALLA
I lick her lifeline
"Oh I can see you are
going to have a wet wet life!"
she watches the tip of
my tongue crawl along her heart line
"You will have many many kisses!"
she sips her fine wine
laughs...munches
sweet onions
all I say
comes true right away
guess I got it right
cute girl from
Walla-Wall sleeping
just up against the Pacific Ocean
"Shhhh..!" says the Pacific Ocean
as it watches over
her sleep
I place DayGlo stars
on all her extremities
she becomes her own constellation
the constellation of
the Girl From Walla-Walla
being looked after by a specific Ocean
"Walla-Walla!"
the waves call to her
but she's lost inside a dream
"Are you really a real Walla-Wallan?"
I ask of her
"Yep!" she grins "I'm the real thing!"
"The only Walla-Wallan
I knew before I knew you
was a girl in a book!"
I turn the snow-dome
up-side d-own
watch it snow forever
I remember her
letter telling me
of a snowstorm she once knew
"I took a little of the snowstorm
put it in the fridge so
it could melt in July."
"The snow storm had never met
a July before
so this was its big chance!"
"When the left-over snowstorm
finally got to meet its July
it cried itself into oblivion!"
"...here. . ." her letter
pauses for ever
outside snow falls now
