turned to gardening for grounding
and now we're mostly an earthen vessel
at times hardening in the mid-day sun
and times like these, we fill up...
to the brim with blessed rain
the business of the mind's demands
has left us weary, courting human error
waxing leaves welts on hands that try
to understand by simple reaching
we touch only --a breath above
the tireless soil- right now
in an uproar of furrowed grace
receiving rain on durga's face
this sturdy oak-- still central
in eagle's broad eyed view
while taking time to do tai chi
in the yard, by the dogwood tree
has left us weary, courting human error
waxing leaves welts on hands that try
to understand by simple reaching
we touch only --a breath above
the tireless soil- right now
in an uproar of furrowed grace
receiving rain on durga's face
this sturdy oak-- still central
in eagle's broad eyed view
while taking time to do tai chi
in the yard, by the dogwood tree
