it’s not about me

it’s not about me,
said the wind,
the leaf
the branch, the tree

it’s not about me,
said the moon,
the tide,
the shoals, the sea

no, it’s not about me,
said the root, the bloom,
the honey, the bee

you are mistaken,
said the morning,
the body warm, the cup, the tea

you see,
it’s not about me
we simply be
part of forever
the veritas, the hajj, the
ver-a-city

oh, you sweet dear, it’s not about us, it’s not about me
for we are nothing —
just, just us, you see
we are nothing, my loves
— for we are free
