Happy Earth Day!

We have a beautiful mother
Her hills
are buffaloes
Her buffaloes
hills.

We have a beautiful mother
Her oceans
are wombs
Her wombs
oceans.

We have a beautiful mother
Her teeth
the white stones
at the edge
of the water
the summer
grasses
her plentiful
hair.

We have a beautiful mother
Her green lap
immense
Her brown embrace
eternal

Her blue body
everything we know.
