and the tall trees all have fell down and they scattered seeds on the ground and one is lost and one is found water is moving underground when i was a young girl i would sleep in a tall tree on the down of bending boughs and from the mount of his shoulders i would traverse the valleys through his dusk and dawning eyes i will let you in said the doe to my arrow and you will wear my bones and my skin hunting my dress love is ruthless and in a nest from the forest i would carry an ember and with a burning heart we d walk and when he asks me to rest with him i would lay down my fire and in that heart we d sing and talk i am a raccoon and you are an owl i will run from you in the mid of night and we will strike a truce in the billowing tower and we ll eclipse the moon with our firelight hunting my dress love is ruthless you love me in my dreams it s easier when i m fast asleep but i don t want you to come to me anymore the river bed has married me so i don t want you to come to me anymore and out of ashes comes morning and the ritual of bathing in the pools at bridal falls and from the mouth of my lover i would drink of the river and kiss his jade and marble walls you will spill the red from my heart with your arrow and you will make my bed under the red grass and i will give my flesh and my blood and my marrow and you will wear my bones and my skin hunting my dress love is ruthless and the tall trees all fell down and they scattered seeds on the ground and one is lost and one is found water is moving underground and you re the one who showed to me the sky it s so much more than you and i and darling i wish i had a time the river is whispering goodbye bye bye
