One Poem. One Planet. April 19, 2017

19.

Notebook Fragment

Across the forest floor,
beneath shadow of spruce
and mountain ash
the daughters of the wind

go forth
…
… … … multiply

numerous as stars
a temporary galaxy
at our feet—

anemones to us,
we are mystery at great distance
to them

–Arlitia Jones, April 19, 2017

I did the Shelby Stripes, and Rizzo is doing the dog hairs on the back of my dad’s birthday camper quilt. Now for the binding.

My lap becomes common ground for 14 years and 14 weeks. Their first snuggle together.

Go ahead and read your book. We’re just gonna stand here quietly and stare a hole in your head. One of us might fart. Don’t mind us. You keep reading.
