The Face

The face was woven high up in a tree
From strands of straw orange against the brown
Had it been hoisted up for us to see?
The suns it had for eyes were beaming down
Its cheeks were broad as pumpkins plump and round.
From strands of straw orange against the brown
Woven in place or raised up from the ground,
It had been formed as naturally as a gaul.
Its cheeks were broad as pumpkins plump and round.
Its nose hung like a woven gourd or ball
A single woven flower from forehead bloomed
It had been formed as naturally as a gaul.
Its smirk and gaze out of the treeline loomed
The woven goatee twisting to the right
A single woven flower from forehead bloomed
We saw it in the golden autumn light
The face was woven high up in a tree
The woven goatee twisting to the right
Had it been hoisted up for us to see?
