But sometimes we don't.
Sometimes we lie together in a quiet place
surrounded by grass and warm wet taste
of rain -
of rain
falling from the summer stars
happy to have company like ours.
And every night they open their eyes
they'll see us there are realize
a thousand things about us.
But they can live without us.
And sometimes we do,
Sometimes we lie together where tall grass waves,
and the entire sky misbehaves
like God is stirring a potion-
above while we lie in this ocean
of rain.
