Forgive us, earth, for our stubbornness

[Verse 1]
Oh, spring! You are longing without end,
Blue chimes and the bitter grass plain.
I accept my soul as my body to tend —
Why, life, would I not embrace you again?

I accept this dark fate as it comes,
And good fortune — like snow on the pane.
In the bitter thicket where I might succumb,
It's shameful to cry, yet joyful in pain.

I accept the loud brawl at the inn,
And the dawn in the icy chill air,
So the wind, while the hills it breaks thin,
Beats a drunken tattoo at my temple there.

I accept the abandoned remains,
And the well — like a frozen-still eye,
The sky's faded vault of amazement remains,
A lone wisp of smoke, timid and shy.

I meet you beside the old fence,
With the mad wind tangled in my thick hair.
How many I kissed without sense —
Lipstick traces on lips that were hungry and bare.

Before this parting, this sickness, this ache,
I won't fold my ace of diamonds away…
You embrace me — my shoulders you take…
For above us — a drunken thunderstorm holds sway.

And I stand, stirring strife with my breath,
Hating, loving, and praying in pain:
For this bitter-grass storm unto death,
For our stubbornness, earth, let us be forgiven again.
