How to start a game of Lawn Tennis

On the Seventh day we rested;

            We set our alarm clocks to day one!

            We had created! We were done!

One question remained –

            What now?

On the sixth day, we made memories

            Reflections for future, beasts

            & other flesh-flowers of our zoo

One question remained –

            Was it yet time for repose?

On the fifth day, we made dreams

            Prophecies from the past, avian

            ambitions and thirst and it’s allegories.

One question remained –

            Who would swim in it?

On the fourth day, we created desire

            Carnal and carnival – flesh and soul;

            Spiritual and spectacle – plays and poetry.

One question remained –

            Where would love and lust reside?

On the third day, we created clay, mud and flesh

            Water to swim; fern to clothe and colour

            And flesh to live out time and other emotions.

One question remained –

            How would we name and colour emotions?

On the second day, we build a house

            From the roof-top, we picked clouds

            and wrung water for our lawns

One question remained –

            How would we decorate it…?

On the first day, we woke up –

            We had rested, we had a world ahead

            We became restless – we were ready!

One question remained –

            Anyone for lawn-tennis?
