Pebbles in a brook
A brook in a forest
A forest in a book
The book begins to breathe
Waking up and hopping around
In my room and with a joyous bound
Through the open window
A swound above the ground

The forest pouring like an inky waterfall
Like a wordy echo in those mountains
Birds and birds oh birdie birdie bee
Leaves a leaf a one-a two-a three
Gleefully lost in the sound
Of a forest in a book
A book in a poem
A poem in your lips
Your lips… Upon mine

curtain
a forest pours down
himalayanbulbul
a bird in a book
sunbird
a bird outside
oriental-white-eye
a bird hanging
crimsonsunbird
a birdie red
crimson-sunbird-2
birdie… keen…

        “Sound of the drums
        Beatin’ in my heart
        The thunder of guns
        Tore me apart
        You’ve been thunderstruck”
        said AC\DC to you
