Let’s talk about life, the sea, and the stars
The colours of things
The redness in Mars 

Let’s worship the moon with its well-cratered face
That noblest orb
Which back-lights you from space

Let’s fall to the sand and throw time to the winds
Toss arms in embrace
And let go of our sins!

Let’s think about here and feel in the now
Inquire as to why
And then ask every how

Let’s speak without thought and think without words
Let’s talk about death
About my death and yours

Both my death and yours…
