sunflowers bow their

break free from these tangled limbs

the remnants of life

puddles of sunlight

of flight above all of it

a night reflection

gratitude sneaks up

that have tails pointing ahead

yet, still tread lightly

to connect with you

they guard their posts — stand ready

sit now before me

I keep company

to speak with the universe

through the moon’s dim light

play brings character

for you, was an act of love

to this small flower

you taught me the words

another reality

mirrors for inside

see the underneath

asymptote, vanishing point

p of finding nuts

you do amaze me

chaotic origami

ringing in my head

my road is the path

be the leaf on winter’s tree

flesh removed from earth

the weight that you lift

hints of orange and purple

play means letting go

a Fermat spiral

swiftly move with such volume

and then held my breath

the weight that you lift

for all of the abundance

announce the sunset

you swept over me

you have been trained to lure us

days, loops, through the years

you swept over me

in that space — sans time — sans thought

then they perch, so still

images within

chaotic origami

drink it into you

such perfection is

vector fields of stick and cloth

the squirrel tail scolds

let us hold it all

droplets, the bubbles in air

in awe we exist

play brings character

changing, growing, condensing

at the lowest point

even planets, stars

cedars converge together

and then held my breath
