Monkey Tree (Breathless edit) (Free verse) by ecargo
We hid,
sheltered in green,
the welter of boles, knobs, boughs
that grew to ground
our hollow bower;
clambered limb
to limb,
lithe and nimble,
limber,
scrambling;
shinned high,
gripped broad branches
with our knees,
and dangled
upside-
down,
hands clasped tight
and swinging,
heads a-
spin;
tangled tongues
beneath the leafy canopy;
fumbled
tingled;
watched the tie-dyed
slide
of violet night as
Venus swelled;
and laughed until
we
fell.
