Remembering Tim
the life cycle of a sunflower field (it was like being
at a crucifixion
at a chapel
all facing the rising sun
loosing seeds as we looked away
greying in different directions
our faces turning brown
back into dirt
--getting stronger with each reflection
loosing seeds as we looked away
our grey heads seeing different nothings
(broken in small ways
these are the seeds for future generations
I keep starting
to dig (with every broken bone
while
remembering
blue skies
as it stormed inside
(because "truth" means starting over even after
I've translated him into wind and water
the previous year's seeds will be replaced
the flowering tops will be incised along a curved line
we must make sure everything is safe from the blackbird
as the wild ones climb
and climb
