when the air was rich
and the garden a festival
of stained glass
something weightless
tentative
touched a zinnia
then on parchment wings
lifted away
and
mid-air
bowed its thanks
beholden
like me
to the earth.
I wish you, dear reader, a hopeful Earth Day.

Thank you! As I recall, you are celebrating Earth Day by chauffeuring plants. How fitting! Good luck to you and your gardener’s muscles!
