Oh, this is the time of year to remember: the WORLD has played a clever TRICK on us – from a tiny GRAIN or shapely bulb, we can grow marvelous things. Bring on the seed catalogs, the graph paper, the dreams of spring!

Polished round stone, blue
ball marked with tan splotches.
The WORLD heavy in her hand.

Placing it in my mine to feel.
It’s cold, this weight we SHARE
while the TRAIN carries us
through fields of sunlit GRAIN.
