An unbreakable spirit occupies everything that grows:
The weeds that break through the street,
the root that overturns the stone.
There is love in all things and all things can be discovered.
Cold April morning,
the thinnest fog over the garden.
Dragged our mattress to the curb and stopped just before the steps.
Echinacea in bloom,
radiant and still.
I come apart forcing my hands into the soil.
Life presses on outside of time.
It bends upward through the earth.
When it’s you breaking the surface,
let me know.
