Strum
D-DU-UDU
 Northern forms  existed in their
own  homes Thowsand  yellow cocoons
Under,  over, through
 A few southern vegetable  forms on the
mountains  of Borneo
Under,  over, through Donkey,  peacock, Goose
 ... and on like this
 In the mouth of the river strange scene
 It is everything in flames
 The sky with lightning and the water, luminous
 A strange scene, it is under, over, through
 Six weeks old Henrietta smiled for the first time
 Tail, habits, proof, instinct that moves
 Emma saw him smile not only with lips but eyes
 Erasmus grab a spoon, Europe, hides wool
 Mr Peacock and Captain Beaufort, endemic, alpine groves
 Breadfruit, cinnamon, tunes
 Tonight it's blowing thick bodies of spray whirled across the bay
 Whatever might have been the cause of the retreat
 Columbia Livia, great ages through
 Beak shapes, skeletal traits runts and carriers
 Wooden hexagonal cage, pouters and fantails
 Tail feathers at what age?
 (The delight of once again being home)
 Grey and white spotted
 (The delight of once again being home)
 Markings in making
 (The delight of once again being home)
 My great amusement
 Behind land house a gentle cooing
 Behind land house the offspring's moving
 Behind land house a gentle cooing
 The delight of once again being home
 ...
 enjoy

In the mouth of the river strange scene

It is everything in flames

The sky with lightning and the water, luminous

A strange scene, it is under, over, through

Six weeks old Henrietta smiled for the first time

Tail, habits, proof, instinct that moves

Emma saw him smile not only with lips but eyes

Erasmus grab a spoon, Europe, hides wool

Mr Peacock and Captain Beaufort, endemic, alpine groves

Breadfruit, cinnamon, tunes

Tonight it's blowing thick bodies of spray whirled across the bay

Whatever might have been the cause of the retreat

Columbia Livia, great ages through

Beak shapes, skeletal traits runts and carriers

Wooden hexagonal cage, pouters and fantails

Tail feathers at what age?

(The delight of once again being home)

Grey and white spotted

(The delight of once again being home)

Markings in making

(The delight of once again being home)

My great amusement

Behind land house a gentle cooing

Behind land house the offspring's moving

Behind land house a gentle cooing

The delight of once again being home
...

enjoy
