They had a feast in your honor I decided not to go I decided to walk the great gardens Balancing on the high stone walls Jumping here or there Listening to birds sing Sun up I was nobody in particular Getting lost in the buisness of things I could have been a beetle walking on a leaf I could have been a fox Watching you from the quiet of a hedge So when I lay down on that green grass Everything so altogether warm I didn't think about you or me or your monologues I thought of a hand full of bees Pulling at my body like pollen Spreading me out over the life The pond full of hungry coy Hyacinth A silent crane watching me I would swim in this pond But I am satisfied to loom above my reflection Seeing myself reflected on the background of heaven
