21 | After searching for days or even months \ | ||
22 | I finally find it reclining lazily \ | ||
23 | above the peaks above the city as if to ask \ | ||
24 | Did you miss me? Yes very much I reply \ | ||
25 | and rush to embrace it but it smiles \ | ||
26 | and recoils and tells me No no you \ | ||
27 | have to try harder than that it says \ | ||
28 | I do not give myself up so easily | ||
29 | |||
30 | I try a different tack \ | ||
31 | I sing to it bring it flowers nightly \ | ||
32 | I compare its eyes to the morning dew \ | ||
33 | it has not seen the morning dew \ | ||
34 | I say its mouth is the sunset over mountains \ | ||
35 | it knows mountains but the sunset \ | ||
36 | is only a rumor from the Evening Star \ | ||
37 | I tell the Big Dipper that it moves \ | ||
38 | like a quiet river across the earth | ||
39 | |||
40 | Rivers I have seen says the Big Dipper \ | ||
41 | they sparkle in the light from my stars \ | ||
42 | Your stars like eyes I say and it smiles \ | ||
43 | No it says that is too easy \ | ||
44 | It turns its back \ | ||
45 | it walks home along the back of the mountain | ||
