When you were born your eyes were closedAnd you were indistinguishable from the other babies.We argued over namesAnd how could I've known you were fated to lie downon Nanda Devi?When you were old enough I began to teach youWhich greenery you could eat to survive alone outIn the wilderness, like me. The earth is the grandestOf living things, and with it we are linked inextricably.Nanda Devi.No one understood why I didn't feel at faultBut I'd only introduced you to the glory of mountaintops.When the avalanche swept me off the face of a friendWith someone's little kids we were like specks of dustIn nature's beautiful broom,Nanda Devi,rejoining the river.
