this poem is a flower / you are a flower
you are water / this poem is water
this poem is a bee / you are a bee
the more you tend them / the more they tend you

the horsetails taught us two songs
they want to be shared with their kin
¿ can you help us ?

the first, they shared, quarter moon past frog’s first peep
the second, they shared, half moon past leaves trembled death

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hello good morning
it’s a beautiful day
life is waking and it’s time to say

hello good morning
the day is new
life is good and it’s good to see you

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

hello good evening
it’s time to lay
our heads down here as we sing for the day

hello good evening
hear our song
you hold us close as we right our wrongs

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
