CHANGE by BENJAMIN ROSENBAUM

First Line: IN THE PRAIRIES
Last Line: NOR THE KEE-OT OF THE WIND BIRDS.

IN the prairies,
Who loved the red moon more than I?
Who listened to the kee-ot of the wind birds more closely?
In the praries,
I would say: I must love the moment deeply.
I must love the beauty deeply. Tomorrow things will change.

@3Last night,
I carried away two things:
A face and a song
But not the moon face
Nor the kee-ot of the wind birds.@1
