Thanks for what we want,

but no no thanks for what we need-

Who can really tell?

Sometimes Nature laughs
With us, sometimes it’s because
We are so silly

Mostly taking sun

In some huge, heaping gulps

In between cave-time.

Wind flinging water

Sideways and arm-like branches

Mighty Maples undress,
Blanketing the earth until
The dawn of Spring’s Breath.

Hands of laughing children,

Faces also green.

Pollen floating in the air,

Far away places.

moved out from trees to find

their new sidewalk home.

Through refracted beams,

Across the diamond I saw

The fence vibrating.

soft and green, footfalls

sweeter than i remember

kicking up the dust
