And never lose direction,
 our fields would be forever
 shining
 however short our life
 we would seldom cry.

Written in the Rain




If we were bees
 who can feel the sun
 through the cloudy sky
 who find their way
 to the blossom
 and never lose direction,
 our fields would be forever
 shining
 however short our life
 we would seldom cry. 



Eskimobird



Often
 when  I fall asleep
 I feel beneath me
 the swaying take-off
 of the great Eskimobird
 seeking its course
 like a hesitant plane.

I lie on its back
 between its wings
 but you,
 a multi-formed animal,
 sit on the tail of the bird
 and fly with me
 overarching me
 and my breath
 can’t escape you.
