Clarifiers

 

What do I need

I don't know

It will come to me

Just like the crows


They act as if 

There's something 

I need as I compost

Camelias


Pulling the sour yellow

Oxalis bursting

Next year's deep 

Brown seed 

Pods


Lemon verbena

Always exuberant, sassy

I hear my mom's voice

Only retired people 

Spend their time 

Pruning the 

Geraniums 


Tiny daddy-long-legs on 

My knee, are you

Papa “Leg”-ba

Dad joke


He whispers

Don't give away the farm

 Go slow

Little turtle

Go slower


Welcome the Tower

Clean slate

See the

Stars
