Garden EARTH

that’s the whistling Ara

that plays in the honey forest

that’s an embrace

in shimmering costumes

that’s nineteen suns

moved around a glowing star

that’s the mother

that pours her white milk

into hunger

that’s the whales’ song

that neither engages in construction

nor instruction nor prophecy

that’s complete shadowless love

that lives at the base of children’s eyes

that’s the blue shelter

the large wing

that’s cheek to cheek

splendor that streams from splendor

interminable

that’s awoken from within

in a cradle rainbow

that’s laughter and tears

day and night

the neighbor the animal and the grass
