To realize
The beauty
You leave behind

sundown
lighting up
fields at my feet

 

Each moment
Each lifetime, conducting its
Singular song

Blown and swept away
Mountain’s old bones a refuge
for swimming rainbows

 

An insect’s lost wing
Soft rainbow skates across
Broken spider web

 

 

Locusts and pine jays
Their wings scrape the smoky air
Slowly, the red sun

While sun is still low
Stately stones become pupils
Eclipsing the sage
