a handful of words



words bring a smile

words bring a twinge;

  the slow steps of

  progress are treacherous


this progression has its

chasms and gullies, its

zoysia grass and fescues


death and life make a

good garden grow, the

ardent flow is contagious


so I live and die a handful of

words at a time. the soil is

both gracious and unpleasant


words and words and words

and words and words. is there

no telling what sprouts from 

the next seed
