The Rock Grows More Beautiful

Cast my net to the sea Am I the fish or the heron The pebble bouncing or the wave flight is easy for the bird I crave your fingertips tracing upon my nakedness As the heron desires his catch And the wave is pulled to shore The sun an aphrodisiac Teasing broken rituals played The rock grows more beautiful My net empties lost burdens
