SONG TO MAKE ME STILL

Lower your eyelids

over the water

Join the night

like the trees

you lie under

How many crickets

How many waves

easy after easy

on the one way shore

There are stars

from another view

and a moon

to draw the seaweed through

No one calls the crickets vain

in their time

in their time

No one will call you idle

for dying with the sun
