The perplexity of joy and
jolting why of beauty: consider
the spiral, the raindrop, the branch;
poppies, pinecones,
the ocean.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
That drift state before sleep,
the general ache of
wistful longing.
The exquisite pleasures
of love.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
The treasure of attention,
unnamed gifts of unbearable gravity,
the numberless ways
suffering
inadvertently reveals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Then, a tickle
on my arm, a
ladybug climbing my shoulder,
this tiny weight of
uncountable wishes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
