I said to my daughter

 

His gentleness now stone;

she, her love, a tree;

the bark climbed her body

till, finally, her eyes were shut;

he and his anger now a flower;

her generosity a shell.


And so it goes

till all is turned.

I remember her arms:

now blades of grass.

If only we had known,

but how could we, that was then.
