If I be a sichuan ape
atop a branch,
snow drenched
with my golden mouth agape
Then you are my guardian
on 2 legs,
seeking lichens
to ease my hunger pains.
*
If you be a row of limestone mountains
overbearing,
commandeering the sky
with scraggly stray trees for a mane
Then I am the wonder-filled explorer
curious,
trudging through your deep valleys,
giving all your branches names.
*
If I be the bamboo tree
and you be the rain
together we will become one
and push through the soil's plane.
