Simple

Marie-Claire Bancquart

Latticed by birds and sky
the tree moves on our shadows.

The murmur of fabric
answers crushed grass.

A sweet apple grows
and the dream of clouds
is slower than water.

Our bodies will cover
a vein of earth.

Minus its make-up of hours life
takes its place once more in the order of plants.
