Fin Amor - Plain Song

[eye_rhyme]

        Some say a baby cries for the life to come
        some say leaves are green ‘cause it looks good against the
blue
        some say the grasses blow because it is earth’s instrument
        some say we were born to cry

●

Some say that the sun comes close every year because it
wants to be near us
        some say the waters rise to meet it
        others say the moon is our mother, ma mère

●

Somer say birds overhead are a calligraphy: every child
learning the words “home”
        some say that the land and the language are the father
        some say the land is not ours
        some say in time we’ll rise to meet it

●

Some say there are the rushes the geese the tributaries
and the reeds

●

Some say the song of the dove is an emblem of thought
        some say lightning and some the electric light some say
they are brothers

●

Some say the current in the wall is the ground
        some say the nervous system does not stop with the body
        some say the body does not stop

●

Some say beauty is only how you look at it and some
beauty is what we have some say there is no beauty some
truth

●

Some say the ground is stable
        others the earth is round
        for some it is a stone
        I say the earth is porous and we fall constantly

●

Some say light rings some say that light is a wave some
say it has a weight or there is a heft to it

●

Some say all of these things and some say not
        some say the way of the beekeeper is not their way
        some say the way of the beekeeper is the only way
        some say simple things all there are are simple things

●

Some say “the good way,” some “stuff”
        some say yes we need a form
        some say form is a simple thing some say yes the sky is a
form of what is simple

●

Some say molecular some open others porous some blue
        some say love some light some say dark some heaven
