A thousand lives ago
A beautiful fish slipped onto the land
And lungs grew, as lungs grow
And the world was new

For a thousand lifetimes
She blessed the earth
And grew wise
A shiver of breath rutted the ocean

Like a shining monk
She went back to the water
And the ocean sighed
And the forest died
But a seed remained

Like a smiling monk
She went back to the water
The ocean sighed
The forest died
But a seed remained
