If

If soil were words:
rich, brown, grainy
root and blossom.

If leaves were birds:
tender little spirals
of feather.

If clouds were flower:
white magnolias blown open
then away.

If stars were fire-flies:
bright, shiny bodies
burning.

If hearts were planets:
enormous orbs of valley,
mountain quietly

collapsing.
