MAKE ME A MELON PLANT

I'd like to feel the rain, lie under the sun

And make it easy for it to talk to my open palms

I'd like to have the freedom to operate

And when the time comes,

I'd like to give birth to a fruit

Big enough to feed an entire household

Please let it be so

If there is a plant stage for beings.
