There are those who will take measure
but we won’t be measured. We will refuse
to participate in that game

Foxes may call to each other across the fields,
they may mark out territory.
We will not take sides

There is a truer place for us
than the field in which these things are measured.
We have a worth deeper
than ground, than soil, than earth.
Our being is rooted in the firmament
from which we will not be moved.
There is no limit to our love.
