Wella

Does the gravel remember how it scraped my knees?
Does it wish itself a mouth to form apologies?
I hope that all the crawdads in my Wella's creek
Think well of me

I was careful to be gentle, treat them all how I'd hope they'd treat me

She ripped up her garden with all her memories
Out came those tomatoes, the year she was sixteen
Was she happy? Is she now, with the life she leads?

I hope when I'm her age my family comes to visit me

They say, "Wella, Wella"
They say, "Wella, Wella"

Does the Earth remember her hands sowing the seeds?
Is it grateful to be useful, does it like the company?
I know the dirt remembers her nails so fondly

But do her nails remember the seeds?

They say, "Wella, Wella"
I say, "Wella, remember me"
