Let's climb through a thousand wildflowers growing in the yard and follow the scents left by the bees in the trembling shadows of the plums and figs fruiting on the way.
Our steps will free the starlight to clear a path for those who will follow silent.
*
you wait
silent in the storm watching through your pain as leaves cyclone and bury you in their midst you alone unmoving
