Scenes from the Blue Garden: part 10




Grass flowers

  

I spy outside my window
a tiny bird simply sitting there
without a worry or a care
so still the little sparrow be
amidst the fallen blades of green

and as I spy so too does he
upon his world of fallen green
the newly turned darkened dirt
wet with rain and freshly sown seed

so strange this moment
I share with the little bird
as we both pause without a word
to simply stop in life's busy hours
and remember the stand of grass flowers

it once ran from fence to fence
and bellowed waves with the winds
and sparkled in the dawning rays
harboring a multitude of residents

the rains spawned fungi spore
as I found tiny mushrooms
and too the many clover blooms
which claimed the land as "ours"
under dancing stems of grass flowers 

the reach tempted me to tarry there
as the tiny bird without a care
and laid me down amidst the stand
to listen close to the grassy prayer

Jargon jaunting: part 'cept for

ignore who wore
the crowns and scepters

look more to your
own frowning specters

a past in class
of "look-down" receptors

the caste amassed
in surrounding sectors

'cept for...
'cept for...
the squalling lector

'cept for...
'cept for...
the call of nectar

implore the cores
of all defectors

restore and shore,
enthrall protectors

deplore the lore
of pol directors

explore, care for,
above all, connectors

'cept for...
'cept for...
the gall in vectors

'cept for...
'cept for...
the thrall of scepters

May pull





it stands behind the house
with arms full of green hands

and dances with those winds
that bring the clouds to earth

dance partners they may be
in overcasts and humid shade

both letting go inhibitions
as they flow through each other

the wind releasing wet breath
an essence of stirring kiss

the tree releasing paddled seeds
promises spinning in the breezy sea

in the multitudes they set sail
from the arms full of green hands

to twirl and spin and float and fall
and fill the grass with whirlwind wings
