To the Woods

In Hei-Bai's forest there is an acorn, an acorn where the Avatar dropped it, and the forest has many hearts, the forest is Hei-Bai's heart, in Hei-Bai's heart there is an acorn where the Avatar dropped it, the Avatar dropped it so it would grow in Hei-Bai's forest, Hei-Bai's heart, so Hei-Bai's heart would grow until it is too big for grief to fill it, and the Avatar has walked Hei-Bai's forest, Hei-Bai's heart, light as the deer, light as Hei-Bai's walking, and the Avatar is growing, shimmering, shivering quick, like the bamboo that rises as Hei-Bai goes in peace.
