Return to the Garden poetry by Robert Fleming

Return to the Garden (Dedicated to Joni Mitchell)

apple trees are under the sky but need a roof		Eve needs sky

pear trees are soiled but need a linoleum floor	         Adam needs soil

cherry trees are in open space but need walls		Jack needs open space

banana trees have sap but need blood			        Jill needs sap
 
move the orchard inside the house			        return all humans under the sky
