Olive Tree

Sweat slides off your skin
And follows your hands as they sink into the dirt
I watch you from a window
And I hear your silent communion with the earth

One day I'll ask you to grow me an olive tree

Rain comes at night
Reluctant at first
Then loud and strong
Then loud and strong
Gushing out of air
Thick with thirst

I can finally breathe
At least until the next sleepless night
Tonight I'll dream that you
Planted me an olive tree

One day I'll ask you to grow me an olive tree
One day I'll ask you
One day I'll ask you
One day
I'll ask you
To grow me an olive tree
