Harvest Hymn
When we were born into this world
we were crafted to fit together.
Fragrances of us enchant.
A seductive spice we long for and
find everywhere we nestle.
In loved ones ears, eyelids, neck,
lips, arm pits, breasts and yes
an enormous bright balloon
rests on our playful hands.
Outstretched— fills the whole sky
We're holding the Harvest Moon while
it bursts bright on crops in the darkest dome
and incubates with night light
the chants that sing the harvest home.
