First
        pile all pillows onto one bed, burrow
        until nothing but a fuzz of light is left
        Lay as still as a pond

The next day
        sit on a stump
        say this outloud: Do I
        want to saw and saw and saw

Then
        wrap a (clean) dishtowel around
        and around your head
        as high as it will go
        Gently step around and around
        the tree in which you wish to be

Finally
        Draw every kind of ladder:
        rung rope bolted knotted notched

        If this makes you foul and rasp
        forget it
                Do not build this house.

If, in sum,
        your legs have jump
        in them
        your arms have pound
        in them
        your eyes have sky
        in them
Go
Do this        new        high thing.
