pulling the weeds
the layman, cursing
the heat
~
the monk, wiping
his brow
says a prayer
~
the master
pulling the weeds
~
together
in a field
under the sun
~
piece of paper
written on, crumpled up
poems in my shoe
~
sun in the soil
reflective face
quartz in the bank
~
shaking hands
church-goers
step into the street
~
Philadelphia
birds on a stoop
brothers
~
in the library
every sound echoing
~
low orange clouds
city at night
~
noticing my mind
tripping off the curb
~
stale taste
spliff
gone from where I left it
~
my Grandfather's friends
explaining absinthe
as I drink it
~
broken tea cup
how I love to look at it!
