I.
in the city of your heart
let me be only a side street
decorating the edges of you
& lying outside your home
i will cradle your feet as you walk
and in the night as you sleep
i will whisper softly to the wind

II.
in the heart of your city
let me only be a street-side
tree decorating the gardens
of your home & i will
keep you cool as you work
and in the night as you sleep
i will sway with the wind’s whispering
