darling cheshire mouse,

if i could picnic with you
in your fairytale woods,
then i would bring my favorite
chocolates and the loveliest
strawberries and my pink flyswatter
(of course, if you do not like chocolate
or strawberries we could choose something else)

the quiet darkness is where i
do my best work, the words
and melodies come so much faster
but the clouds make me sad,
because they cover the stars and
the shining moon and i like them
better than the sun and that’s
where i think you are, with the stars
(but i’ll sing even louder to reach
you if i have to sing through your
glass jar because i sing for the
bright things of the world)

you’re words are like the
warmth of summer and
i hate to be the one to
inform you of this, but
my voice is not beautiful
when i speak it is low,
nearly comparable to the
rolling streams when they are calm
when i sing i must push it up
until it is the pitch of a song
bird, though not a pleasant
because, for all my trying,
the notes and melodies
fight me like warriors
(and i am not yet strong enough
to fight them off, but i will work)

and how is wonderland right now?
is it pure sparkly white with snow?
for my home is, and we crickets go
into hiding when there is snow on
the ground and our throats are
sore and we cannot sing during the
winter, but i’m sure wonderland
is beautiful covered in snow
(perhaps you could teach me to
love winter again)
