Extremities

Extremes
Tucked under Norsewear
In the draw below the middle
Snuffling
The airy
Roomed lived-in lounging
Avoid!
The too-muchness-of-living
She pouts

Tahi Rua Toru
And we are asked to leave
Vacate
On the rattling route
Back to where something began
We titter into embossed bottled beams of light
As we are lost There's no need to hurry
