lyrics

GEM ANEMONE

Under the sea
by day and night
The Gem anemone
which needs no light
no bigger across than a fingernail
stickily
captures the plankton.
While, in our peculiar air,
we multifariously
live, eat, sleep
the Gem Anemone
attached to its constant rock
down there.
sways
in the tides
like a dancer,
mortal as us,
To it’s unheard music that will have no end
