prayer

a dried rose in my diary
the day opens like a morning glory

patience of redwoods
constancy of tides

gardenias
strawberries

promise in a bulb

an open door
a field

sun-bleached bones

each morning’s potential
each evening’s rest

the Beloved loves you
the signs are
close as
attention
breath
