For how many mornings

Has the pink sun

Been touching you?

How many stars

Hurried down to meet you?

And winds? Remember, 

That day

When you almost

Got to know the ground 

And remember

When you were

Just a flower?

Silk petals 

In his hand 

You had many guests then

All wearing stripes

Buzzing "I love you"

How many birds

Made you jealous,

Wing envy?

Before your first rain

You didn't know 

How the sky cries 

And you didn't know

How you looked

Until she came to a mirror

To fix her hair,

While holding you

In her hand
