John Vanderslice new zealand pines

golden gate park
we walked our mondays there
safe inside our replica
they have a garden there
where climates of the world
are laid out on a walking tour
you were my proof
you were my wetsuit
I will be okay
if I can keep
the things I love at bay
winter light
falls through south america
onto new zealand pines
ranger locked the gates
I took cover under
the dead wood and fragrant vines
you were my proof
you were my wetsuit
I will be okay
if I can keep
the things I love at bay
