Compound Gratitude

Thank you for the eye and the sight

for the ear and the drum

for the finger and the nail

for the under and the belly

for the back and the bone

for the hand and the made

for the heart and the ache.

Thank you for the moon and the light

for the sun and the flower

for the rattle and the snake

for the thunder and the storm

for the star and the fish

for the blue and the bird

for the honey and the suckle.

Thank you for the day and the dream

for the good and the night

for the after and the noon

for the cross and the over

for the up and the coming

for the life and the time

for the thanks and the giving.
