Picnic

A romantic moon as big as the screen

Eats dinner with a lovely, old tree

And its craters are holding the lemonade

And its branches are serving the soup

And their love is not bound to chains

For when the day brings dawn

The lovely, old tree is left without

 

 

-

 

 

The lovely, old tree sits quietly and waits

For the love of its life to return

And it droops its leaves with aching sadness

Until the pinks and the blues fade into the air

And the lover, the moon, is again standing there

And its craters are holding the lemonade

 

 

-

 

 

Black takes over the screen

 

And the room fills with standing applause.

 

Black bow ties and red gowns

 

Envious of the love they have witnessed.
