She's only filled with an old blind wish.
It isn't even hers but came to her
in the rain
or the soft wind,
which is a gate through which her life keeps
walking.

She can't see
herself apart from the rest of the world
or the world from what she must do
every spring.
Crawling up the high hill,
luminous under the sand that has packed
against her skin.
she doesn't dream
she knows
she is a part of the pond she lives in,
the tall trees are her children,
the birds that swim above her
are tied to her by an unbreakable string.
