Juniper

I wish I had a forest full of junipers
I could breathe and be easy for awhile

Why can’t we see the trees for the woods just once
Not worrying how to use it all

We spent the evening
Sparks in the sky
And you told me that you
Would rather die

I begged you to listen
It’s not how it seems
But a mind can betray you
On all sorts of things

Let’s spread them all across the northern hemisphere
Have countless goods to share

I want to lay sweetly in mother earth
Where juniper branches sway
