Only now that I come back here
I see it as a paradise, this green land
the flowers, the golden grain
all the riches I thought to be normal
Now, the familiar overwhelms
my new eyes, filling me
with nostalgia even before
I think about leaving
Or will I stay for the rest
of my life, knowing very well
that it is soulhard work
to sleep together
wolf people and sheep people
cow, bear, and snake people
It is heartwork in paradise
for enough straw for everyone
