one day i will shed my humanity
don my tree bark skin and grow leaves in my hair
one day i will sink my teeth into the soil
and taste life at its most raw
the tears of my family will water my years instead
i will spend their sorrows on my branches
like a lively brown skeleton reaching for heaven
but i don't want nirvana anymore
i will stay rooted to my mother
if you truly wanted to live forever
wouldn't you want to stay here instead
