THIS MORNING
As lucky as I am
(and I’m not)
This morning, vivid and sweet
Divining eternity in a cloud of geese
Rising- becomes me
And blue and depthless
The sky opens another wound of wonder
As the ground
Stuck in dreams of verdant green
Seems sleeping
Awaiting voices
That will bloom
In the bushes
bending over backwards
until flush with endless buds
unspiraling in place
as colors sulk until the air is ready to unfurl them
like wings
like dawn
like my heart
like this morning
