GRAIN

I am safe from the storm,

cuddling the autumn rain

until it sleeps in the sea.

Thunders dance just for me

while I drink of you.

so sweet your heart tastes.

(so sweet this magic is)

Ages will lengthen, days of

lightning and clouds may

wound me again but if I can

choose, I will bear all your

pain.

For you I sink

(in particles of love)

For you

I would forever remain

in seeds of silence,

in a timid grain.
