and who are we to be so blessed to have pie
to have clothing in a closet: shoes under the bed
a bed with flannel sheets: heat and hot water at the ready
who are we not to know how blessed we are 
to remember how it is we came in 
wrapped and delivered
wanted

 September 2024

Oddly or not, I'm quite enamored by dying plants:
the way they let go quietly and how I continue 
to offer them water and carry them from 

sunlight to darkness

wishing for one more day
thanking them for beauty

I've always been in love with the unfolding

tulips as they surrendered their golden inners
turning themselves inside out & upside down
colors that fade & fall: I saved spent blossoms
kept them in glass jars and on windowsills

Now, I let them fall onto the kitchen table
I sit with them as I say my goodbyes
