Hammock Hammock

Bodies three sit snugly
in the Widow Wyile’s red
hammock hammock

the spindly overshadowed tamarack 

                         a n d

   the mature mighty sugar maple 

one wide big grin above the grass
swing swing   giggle   sing swing 

Tamarack side sits a smiling Scorpio
who doubled the hammock’s name 

in the centre one contented Capricorn
basking in young familial energies  

by the maple squats a singing Sagittarius baby
contentedly scratching the folds of parachute fabric 

Together they are a symphony of wonderment
gazing up into the sunlit canopy of greenery
yAh-ing and kNow-ing delightful absurdities
enormous joy of toddler jokes 

swing giggle singing
rockabye baby in the treetop
            banana!
again
rockabye baby in the treetop
            sponge!
again
rockabye baby in the treetop
            cucumber! 

zim-zala-dim
            bam-ba-zala-doooo
zalaaa                 tricycle!

on and on
sense and non
again   again   again
giggle sing swing
swing swing    giggle sing swing
ever so grandly
voi-làaaa les trois
rocking in red
near the tree bottom
zim-zala-dim
            bam-ba-zala-doooo
zalaaa                 glory! 

                        glory sweet glory
of the stretching
hammock
