my roots in you and your roots in me.
...

In the ocean of the night
under a star burning sky
my heart spills upon liquid streets.
It pours the pain of moments lost

when you weren't looking,
because I didn't want you
to owe me anything;
...

I planted us in the field together
so that our roots may entwine
and we may grow towards the same sky;
together in the spring, together

if my passion poured over you
like broken stars.

Mountain girl, eyes of sky
Star laden feet from moonlight passes
the evening wind winding around your waist
fragrant with the apple blossom.
...

When it rains here it lasts a long time;
all through the night, the morning
and sometimes the afternoon too.
I lay awake listening to the rain,
