yellow basket

A tisket a tasket

I dropped my yellow basket

Tell me when you’ll drop the grayness of clouds

Tell me when you’ll make the rain fall down

Tell me when

the winds will spin up

rainbows and sunshine

and inconsistent rain--

I'll forget the quarries

the depth

of rock--

caverns

chasms

cliffs

A tisket, a tasket

I love my yellow basket

I dropped it--

I dropped it--

Don’t know what I’ll do.
