Lemon soda

i found you
sunny citrus

only the bubbles though;
yellow and bursting and
singing of sunshine.

buoy my spirits,
but not for long;

my koala, my lion, my peacock, my owl
they're all too far away --
shrouded by the eucalyptus trees,
all too far away

and i know lemon soda
will turn sour one day.
