in the afternoon . only a green vine is seen . clinging to the pole
to have free access to water is to affirm the value of life
in just a month’s time . food will replace the flower . that showed up today
a distinctive call . brings the wilderness, cutting . through the city noise
the flower matters . no matter what form it takes . it creates matter
even when cloudy sunshine may be required so we make our own
birds will navigate a tangle of tree branches by looking through them
when the lake is calm . the duck is still paddling . never complacent
not sure what comes next . the cat keeps a wary eye . on human actions
between earth and sky . there is balance, existing . precariously
