Hard Epistle to the Rejoicing at the Bottom of the Gravity Well

Hard Epistle to the Rejoicing at the Bottom of the Gravity Well

The wind and the sun contest for my affection.
The ground is hard and flat, well packed.
The sea speaks reams to me but she
Is waiting for another man.
I sow dragons teeth in the stoneless ground.
The wind whispers, the sea sighs in her sleep.
Sadly a bee comes spiralling in,
'Hello tired friend, you're at your end,
'Come and sleep by my heartbeat.'
