after the splice

when the temperature's nice

after the patch

when everything's a match

after the patch



after the edit

when it's had time to set

when it's smooth

then it's time to move

when it is smooth



go consult your elders

look into the thatch

any day that swelters

there's still some shelter

beneath the hatch



go consult your elders

look into the thatch

any day that swelters

there's still some shelter

beneath the hatch



after the cool

when it's wound on the spool

when it's spent

you're rarely glad it went

when it is spent
