'HER LITTLE FACE...'

untitled poem
from usa (first half) january 1968 magazine WORLD COUNTDOWN vol.3 #9

note:
the only text that was 'saved' from don van vliet's burning of his work in spring 1969

her little face 'n' place
dear old tree i am you 'n' you me
she sings she plays
little fence grown 'round your base
panzies smilin' color of sunshine
pantin' paintin' happy face
we share different space yet
i know you well, i know you then
i know i knew you again
she sings
dear old tree you stand still
she sings she plays
initals small, then growin' big nowfall
little fence blades of green
summer winter spring
shade fades you she plays sings
bent nail autum
blossoms spring cling 2 cloth
wet 'n' winter rain clinzed
i know you then i have grown
i knew you well i know you have grown i know
little fence blades of green pokin' shade fades you
she's all dressed up in the mornin' sunshine
she's all dressed up in the mornin' sunshine
she walks out
'n' she talks out
sings
plays out in yellow mornin' sunshine
she sings she plays
waves 'n' fades in the wind sky
rubs her little eyes
in mornin' sunshine she bathes
little girl
i see i see you i love you
