You (In So Many Words)

Broken glass tiles for your smile Conch shell ears in pearly pink Onyx mirror windows for your eyes Butter yellow ribbons for your hair Raw bamboo still green make up your arms Sailor's knots in ropes, your veins to breathe Apples, red delicious for your cheeks Silver scales of fish each paper nail Stilts of blooming rain trees for your legs Finger prints of mushroom undersides Kimono silk hand stitched makes up your skin Palms of lotus flowers catching rain Heart of solid salt born from the sea Mind of lightning white against the night Voice of two bright birds who lift the sky Persona holding nature in refrain.
