Is it fair that you claim
the forest with your name
and the sky with your attention?

Fair: My name
And a thing I care not for
in this arena

Take the clouds and the sky
Take the trees and the forest
Take the grasslands and the grassless lands
Take the places of water and the islands they hold
Take the hidden caves and the proud mountains

Take the deserts which are
where you will find me
waiting for you to take me too

Take it all
as it was always yours

Before I met you, I knew the
receiving goddess of the earth
and the giving god of the sky

Now I know the truth:
You are goddess of both
and I am but the seeing sun
sliding across your skin,
pulled by a kind colossus
who rests his feet on roads
