In your Garden

In your Garden

 

There’s a chance that I am immortal,

And so at night I climb and decorate trees,

My pale limbs hanging dangerously

Over wind and cold water seas.

 

I have found other worlds in your garden,

While crawling through the tangled leaves,

My crown fell down a hole that led to

A land of compultion thieves.

 

I hold my knees to my face and whistle,

My pink hands shiver, tippy toes freeze,

I pick roots of ice growing, biding my time

Till the moon lets me hang from trees.

 

Over time frost grew between my blue hair,

And sharp cold raindrops tickled my feet,

I’m still waiting for you to remember me

In a garden playground wrapped in sleet.
