Bowerbird baby

Look

See this monument I made to you

Let me put this here

I arranged these sticks so well for you

Love is symmetry —

is it not?

I found everything blue in the forest

buttons  plastic  cable ties  bottlecaps

I made a stack of orange

over here

petals  berries  leaves that fell

and complement quite nicely

Look here

will you have me?

I see it all
beautiful boy
so impressive
and grand
But it’s the dun
the dull and the plain that I find
so enrapturing
