		first
		one has to be born
		eternally be born
		fertility
		is the apple tree
		under which
		blossomed the first saturation

		and the wind
		chuckled huddling
		among the branches
		the wind was a devil
		singing the praises
		of the miracle of the circling blood

		the apples
		rolled from the tree
		golden
		they lay down on the earth
		came up as seedlings

		one has to be born
		be born
		eternally be born
		the stubborn earth circulates
		loaded down with fruit
		exists
