born of cloud
and cast
down
onto seeds tucked
in cracked
skin
of tight spring
grounds,
so that with a
little time
in..
sun spoke
glow-
a little growth
may show.

feel a crisp breeze’s
wisps of kindness
rustle as it
leaves,
this frostbit clearing’s
knot of sickly
old trees,
guide all bastard brothers
and sullen sisters
into solidarity
stripped the
rivalry,
redefining and refining
what it means to
be one as
family.

i’ll stash this glowing
apple for when i
need it,
knees in grit
to pray..
this fruit won’t decay
before i’ve had a
fair chance
to juice
it..
and to bury its withered
pit, then i’ll hold
vigil and..
nurse
it,
++++
til it’s bloomed ripe
on branch for
next hand
to pick.

..don’t bite so quick.
life’s all lemons and
pink grapefruits,
life’s the sugar
rush for sore
tooth,
life’s
bittersweet,
++++
we’re the
proof.
