I only remember the last line which is "We are Orchard". Been bugging me for ages!

"The Message" a poem from A Time to be Born by Jeni Couzyn
The Message
Under the substances
a stillness.
The revelation of the Wisemen
we were born with.
The circle of light we carry
at the centre of our bodies
knowing and forgetting, see
with scoured eyes when we give birth
lose, and discover again
season after season
because we are orchard.

Lemme see, 8 hour time distinction, that would placed you at approximately 7:10 a.m. Hitting the marmy somewhat early, are we? of direction I comprehend the style. that's a mix of converb, trigee, and . . . wait, no freaking way is that a haiku. The credit of direction is going to TD after he's had some traces of the Peruvian marching powder.
