This is how you become everything that lives.

Your eyes go out toward the water, and the waves rise;

And so at last, you sleep, in the circle of my arms

You are the daughter of the sea, oregwww.99lib.netanos first cousin.

that push back the shadows so that you can rest--

vegetables, seaweed, herbs: the foam of your dreams.

you know the deep essence of water and the earth,

Translated by Stephen Tapscott

your h九_九_藏_书_网ands go out to the earth and the seeds swell;

Naiad: cut your body into turquoise pieces,

Swimmer, your body is pure as the water;

conjoined in yo9９liｂ•ｎｅtu like a formula for clay.

cook, your blood is quick as the soil.

Everything you do is full of flowers, rich with the earth.
