Under the Sun

She laughs in the middle of the night With two boys who hold her tightly Her hair is blonde and she, oh she dresses in saris I saw her talking to the trees I saw her walking steadily Trenches that she had dug with her hands, oh they have come to life She says, she wants to live under the sun She says her boys were meant to run No schools for them The earth's enough She floats like a honey bee The boys swim in the mud and they've been Running around, scooting down and touching ground She's happy We meet in the mornings to say hullo She looks me in the eyes, extends her soul Took me so long to see she's inside of me She says, she wants to live under the sun She says her boys were meant to run No school for them The earth's enough
