We Are The Duet

We are the duet

Of water meets dust

Sky meets ground

Heaven meets earth

We are the duet

Of a mucky dance

Crying over the crops

Stepping upon the seeds

We are the duet

Invented from the mess

Of creation, turning

Into devastation

By the hands of the

Coalition

We are the duet

Pouring hands and feet

And cranking necks

And exposing wrists

And lengthening legs

And loosening tongues.

We are the duet

For the dried up leaves

In need of a drink

For the endless fields

Silent in their thirst

We are the dance

To grow and harvest

That will give and give and give

And keep feeding and keep feeding and

Keep feeding

Both types of souls:

Those who believe the duet is worthwhile

And those who believe they can live

Without the smallest amount of rain.
