wake up little bean
shrug off the earth
that has buried you alive
pierce the shroud
with your sprout
before the sun chases the dew
away from gathering on the tip
wake up little bean
let me measure how fast you will grow
till your stem is strong enough
and your leaves broad enough
to carry us beyond
the giants reach
wake up little bean
and stretch your roots
amongst the soft earth
that has waited for your coming
pierce it through and through
to support your girth
that will carry us
beyond the stars and back again
search out the food
stored in the death
of leaves and beans
of former lives
wake up little bean
you are the last that we have.
