Lifting Belly Is So Kind

Part Two

Kiss my lips. She did.

Kiss my lips again she did.

Kiss my lips over and over and over again she did.

I have feathers.

Gentle fishes.

Do you think about apricots. We find them very beautiful.

It is not alone their color it is their seeds that charm us. We

find it a change.

Lifting belly is so strange.

I came to speak about it.

Selected raisins well then grapes grapes are good.

Change your name.

Question and garden.

It's raining. Don't speak about it.

My baby is a dumpling I want to tell her something.

Wax candles. We have bought a great many wax candles.

Some are decorated. They have not been lighted.

I do not mention roses.

Exactly.

Actually.

Question and butter.

I find the butter very good.

Lifting belly is so kind.

Lifting belly fattily.

Doesn't that astonish you.

You did want me.

Say it again.
