Mountains have trees
That in love affairs with the wind
Open their leaves
The openings bring illumination
To the earth
By illuminating
Crystal globular fungi
That were unseen
In the darkness of closed leaves
Crystal globular fungi unseen
Except for a love affair
Between wind and leaves

Even after the wind is gone
The leaves are closed
The glow
From crystal globular fungi remains
In memories
And its remaining light
Creates
Lips
That otherwise would stay unborn
On the face
Of the who
Is loved
