Don’t you aim at the stones,
for they don’t know what they fly for.
Behave on fair terms with earth
and all of its freakiest creatures
that you in one of your future
lives may already have the fortune
to proudly have been before.
Don’t make complaints about the plants,
don’t demand amends on how you treat
or go treated by the beasts.
They have no clue as to
wether they bother or better you.
Your expectations have no room outside you,
and nature is,
in your exact similarity,
neither vicious nor virtuous.
Nonetheless, if on a hot day, the whole sun
starts to weigh down on your back,
go fetch under a tree’s hat
a grassy rest.
And feel how cozy in this hug
you find no cause to grudge.
Then lie there for a brief
lap sleep.
