Breathe
Dance this dance with me
And yet take no steps
Sing this song with me
And yet say no words
Come
Sit here with me
Let us stare into the abyss of knowledge
So abundant that wisdom is scarce
Someday, we may find a piece
Watch
The new leaf open its palm
Like a child learning to accept a nut
See the vinyebu burn until its embers die out
Sit
Watch hundreds of bleyivi in the beach sand
Dance to the war drums of the aʋadada
Wielding their pincers like spears
Someday,
You and I will chase them and catch only one
One day
We will no longer be here –
Neither you nor I
For today, come
For now, sit
This moment, just breathe
And do nothing with me
