Garden wild

​

​I don't mean to moon the sun
but my bare back-side revels in this openness of seeing the wind


For a moment I delight in the fantasy that a crow has stolen my pen
a fair trade for the use of this knoll, this perch above the pond
I get the better deal
both my mistake
and these damsel flies dancing around my feet
followed by a white butterfly


Gratitude is only the first word
In the language of this place I offer my breath as thanks
as promise
to be be alive in the world
to succumb to arousal


I finally begin to understand how I am to love
and at every moment of doubt
a hummingbird arrives in response
so close I could cup her in my hands
