When my dead friend came to me, she said,
“This is the body that I always wanted!”
How foolish we are - scrambling around -
afraid for our lives.
Today was so beautiful -
The azaleas blooming
The lilacs offering their shy evening scent
That knocks you out once you get to know them.
And the green, green, green.
The quality of it.
Do you have the ability to see the tulips open in the warm morning sun?
What is that scratchy film that covers everything?
The annoying guy with a backpack on the subway.
The big project that I keep putting off.
My son, who won’t get a job.
The body that I always wanted to have is this body.
Living, breathing Earth body.
Soil and azalea and subway body
Tulip and unemployed son body.
This is the body I always wanted to have.
