I wear my loves
Do not cry
Do not cry for me
I will not cry for you
I wear the sky as
opal on my skin
keep it shining
Do not cry
Do not cry for me
I will not cry for you
I wear the sunset’s
vermillion and ash
fleeting in my blush
Do not cry
Do not cry for me
I will not cry for you
I wear the fields’
lime-light carpet
walk in them
Do not cry
Do not cry for me
I will not cry for you
I wear the oaks’
writhing crackled bark
remember to touch them
Do not cry
Do not cry for me
I will not cry for you
I wear the grasses
Fuzzy tips of saffron
feel them in my hair
Do not cry
Do not cry for me
I will not cry for you
I carry music
in my fingers, toes and loins
hear it, touch it, feel it.
