Spilled Milk on a Fresh Lawn

What if it was all cut and calculated.

And the air

circulated perfectly

around

and

around

the room.

And the roses

were

without thorns.

And no devil stalked flocks.

And no man meant harm.

And the clocks

rocking

in their hammocks

silent

and

still

infinitely

swooned.

Not sure if this has anything to do with spilling milk on a fresh lawn.

But I like that idea.

I like this a lot. I like the sentiment and Dali-esque imagery:

And the clocks
rocking
in their hammocks
silent
and
still

infinitely
swooned.

great movement toward that closing swoon *

Great title. Provocative, dreamlike, zenlike.*
