New red maple leaves
Gracing our front yard
Did you arrive
On a spaceship
Or through
Merlin’s wand
A month ago you were only
Tiny nodules
Soon to be
Fully grown
Then fallen
Then earth after all
Gracing our front yard
Did you arrive
On a spaceship
Or through
Merlin’s wand
A month ago you were only
Tiny nodules
Soon to be
Fully grown
Then fallen
Then earth after all

Wide open ocean
Distant bird calling
Grain of black sand
Sharp and volcanic
Song of the heart
Never quite calming
Mind of the Buddha
Awake now, awake

“Beautifully written, with a clean, precise, evocative, and powerful style”

He has Covid
She has a stomach flu
He has a cold
She has bronchitis
I, too,
Have been down
With respiratory
And stomach challenges
How is it
When things are rough?
Struggling through the day
Or lying in bed
The morning glory
Near my desk
Opens nearly every day
What joy
