Rivers rising through the air
We drift along because
The flood forced us to come undone
Water’s mixing with our lungs
Tendrils wrap around our hearts
We all grow and fall apart
In this garden
You gotta love the dirt
Seeds sown and tended
The rest is left up to the Earth
It’s in autumn with the crimson rose decay
It’s written all across the sky as the sun crawls into the bay
Lichen bit into the sky
And clung to trees of evergreen
And we grew minds of Earth and leaf
Kelp is growing from our eyes
Urchins came to clean our bones
We became where the otters dove
In this garden
You gotta love the dirt
Seeds sown and tended
The rest is left up to the Earth
It’s in autumn with the crimson rose decay
It’s written all across the sky as the sun crawls into the bay
