That Was How We'Ve Been



For Wenzi and Riza

That was yesterday.
I was a fire rock and you
were the upthrust wind.
That was how we’ve been.

Everything trembled
in our oasis because
we have to get there, and
you I want you endless.

That was how we’ve been.
When I was young, and you
were younger. We carved
caves and rocks, cut fields

crossed lakes. We passed
sun and moon like smoke
You grew up well
That was how we’ve been

Raising your arms to God
kissing the earth, the wonders
of life. And like stars
Your eyes, love and joy gleamed
