Eat Swim Nap
You eat. I swim.A warm day. Darkness naps.Robins perch and the wind brimsin the garden lost in weeds.
The wind swims with the perched robins. Youare lost in weeds. Darkness brims in the garden, a warm day.I eat, then nap.
Darkness naps lost in weeds while windbrims. Robins perch in the garden.A warm day lost in weeds, swimsin darkness perched with robins. You, I eat.
