with beyond…

asked to arrange
the flowers in a vase
I put them in any which way-
so glad there are some things
which can’t go wrong

late day sun-
deep on the forest floor
a seedling
ghost dance
on the forest floor

could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace
milkweed
on one plant
from bud to bloom…

between chores
I study my hands
as if they might hold
something
I should know
skunk cabbage
opening in the woods

how ironic
coming to love
this life and world
and at the same time
letting it go…
rain or dew
the fleeting time
here
