Fall

The clouds were luminous
My heart was simple
The road was long
I was tired

I thought about my parents
I thought about my childhood
I felt that we were innocent
The road was long

The sun shone through the clouds
The light lit up the trees like gold
I felt that we were innocent
It was fall

Elephant

Silent tears from the belly
Silent heavy sad
Silent shy shame
Heavy silent elephant
Sad shy elephant

Glory be to the heavy earth
Molten, golden, heavy earth
Melting heavy sad
Into all-good earth
Merging heavy shame
Into good, giving earth

Tears good rivers breathing
Flowing free
Child crying
Heavy sad into
Beautiful, living earth
Tender worms
Heroic stones

Good heavy elephant
Flowing sad into free
Flowing soft and easy
Melting into solid earth
Flowing river for us to be
