it was high time

for the other

eye on side

the other know

engulfs my

favorite maze

its hue a deep

     truth

its stunning dim

     wind

my forever steam

     hidden bramble

my always Green

     free from fire

the eye clears

     thought

from my autumn 

     haste

now that earth

     patched

my yearns...

will high tide

     return?

to root my

     alveoli's sigh

from the thneed

     I've lost a sleeve

but gained a 

     stream

yes, I am

     humble

to the curve 

     of her sheen

as she gleams,

     I plead,

cast me 

    right 

  into 

my lovers 

  dream
