Last night I saw the village dancing,
Many children
Rushing in
And running out
To the music of the trees.

Last night, I saw the village swimming,
The trees doing butterfly stroke,
Boulders making a splash,
And waterfalls creating waves the size of a house.

Last night, I saw the village baking,
The leaves laying on the B.B.Q,
Twigs getting burnt in ovens lying there like sausages.
And the trees
In the breeze
Melting all the houses hair.

Last night, I saw the village starving,
Jack’s house wacked her jaws
And took a gulp of water!
Fat trees got stuffed with sap
And moaned at the full up homes.

Last night, I saw the village crying,
The village houses tumbled to the ground,
And the waterfall was pouring more than ever.
Last night, I saw the village scared,
Twigs were screeching,
Leaves were shouting,
Yelling, “I want to live.”
And the storm
Like a lion
Roared in the night sky beyond.
