VISIONS PAST DAWN

ARE MY PRAYER

MY PRAISE

FOLLOWING EXQUISITE SUNRISE

A MOMENT AGO

ECSTATIC DISCOVERY

I HAVE NEVER BEFORE SEEN
DELICATE

TINY TRANSLUCENT TISSUE ENCASED FLAT SEEDS

INDIVIDUALLY PACKAGED

FOR NATURE 

ESCAPED FROM

BROWN BUMPY HARD SHELLED CLAM-LIKE

BLOOMING

PURPLE FLOWERED

FEATHERY LEAFED

JACARANDA TREE

SEED POD.
FALLEN ON THE GROUND

JOYOUSLY I COLLECT THEM

.

and I thought I was happy earlier

during morning sunrise

seeing the shadow figure

very long, tall

of the tree trimmer man,

macho machine in hand,

vision on the far hillside white wall

when I went out to look

in the distance.

The shadow confirmed

that I did hear

the mysterious ((((bbrrrringgg)))) cutting sound

through the intercom in the kitchen

connected to Marcel's

open window bedroom intercom

I had forgotten to disconnect

while he is again

in the hospital.

Sometimes I see

 the shadow of a bird

and separately hear

its sweet song.

to my friend, luv for a Holy City Shabbat,

JOY
