The little koala

Lost am I
In booming, collapsed, cut forests, gigantic buildings
As scary as the dark, monstrous midnight sky
Dreamt
Threatened
Grieved
Care you not that my life is my land
Explore with me up in trees with falling leaves
Explore with me in forests of green grass
Explore with me eating gum nuts, eucalyptus
High as the very tip of the sky
