Green and Brown Valentine

Half of this leaf is green
Half is dry and brown
Coming and going
 
Coming to the earth
And going from the earth
The two kinds of debt
 
What one loans from the other
Paid back with double interest
For death and the freedom to grow
 
On the green half I write my name
On the brown half I scratch it out
I pay as much as I can
 
Rich as the earth is
Poor as the earth is
Coming and going
