Lyrics
A mother's gift
Leaf laid
Tiny unfolding circle
Cocooned
Young upside-down ascetic
Grasps the tree
You shed your skin
You shed your body
Once for each season
And then
Deepest winter
First blink
Sunlight dissolving cells
The hidden imaginings
Open butterfly, open
Reveal your wings
Like crumpled paper bags
Waiting for air
Unfolding circle, she grows
With tentative beats
Colours all a-flutter
Tastes the mother's gift of nectar
Thick in the lavender June day
