don’t move
get to know intimately
this one spot on earth
creek water
woven within paper
tree whispers
water carves
the living mantle of soil
silver salmon run
created by light
chalice of a poppy
a small planet
is it true
the garden fashions
the gardener
the flower
gives fertile seeds –
its descendants

the opening
of a single flower
may touch a distant planet
outer limits
a ladybug ascending
dew-covered grass
clouds move
behind oak boughs
unveiling a star
ancient oak
on curved limbs
a shawl of moss
