Live; and be wary

Vines of ivy, climbing high
Leaves will stretch and touch the sky.

Wait here on the highway's side,
Ask a shadow for a ride.

A sparrow lies dead in the snow
A mother buried it, her children don't know.

It's found and eaten by a crow
The children saw, their faces show.

Plants and humans grow the same.

Never give a bird your name.
