arctic hedge
well what wonderous wonders bring you
wandering here in the wisps of the forest
where do you want to go
i can bring you— almost— almost anything
here— let me take you into the woods
open your arms, and close your eyes
you are now in the woods
whenever you are ready
open your eyes
you will find a beautiful world
the reddened sky and the blushing canopy
here let’s make it more beautiful
i’ll make it rain leaves
you know what a thin cloud in the night sky
would look even better
i’ll blow one out
you still want more
i don’t know if i have anything else
wait hold on let me conjure something
give me an ear to whisper in
its a kid asking you to play ball
with your innocent eyes
the eye is the window to the soul
and theirs are wide open
the kid has a scrape on their knee—
it’s ok you can step back for this
let me take a look
it’s not that bad
see
don’t fuss over their bodies
they’ll be ok
now run off
play
have fun
before i have to bring you home
have i ever had fun before
i don’t know
i’ve never played games
at least i didn’t have time to
people always hate who i am
for blowing away their plans
you see i have no tears to cry
and now that i have duties like this
i have no time to be myself
just drying clothes
cooling people
powering windmills
and now i have even fewer tears to cry
wait
i can have a try at this ball
wow
i have never felt so
free in a long time—
tornado!? why are you here now
why do you always ruin my fun
i just found someone who—
what!? tornado
you can’t just interrupt a—
jus wun mo min-min pwease
tired lance
hushed pasture
wintry sleet
raven harness
smoky vine
hidden hatch
