Jacaranda love.

I on the inside strumming a broken guitar Humming to a lost tune To an old dusty furniture That got carried away to Heat the heath "Tis outlived its usefulness,"  My Mother retorted. I couldn't get the chords I reclined to a corner   Trying to strike an earth-record music hit The music made by rustling wind And dead leaves At which boughs dance In a baritone tone   My voice  I had broken mine A deep note. It made me sad When it flapped My hands gripped We would have roast meat A dove's blood dripping The room was warm now. I groaned on the inside. That a bird with a broken wing could fly And make melody too Was beautiful. It pained We shortly were mates I painted it It lend me a wing I...
