Gifts From Small Gods




small gods
strew yellows and pinks
onto dew from liquid palattes,
a gift to the cats who stalk them
in the jungles of spent tomatoes
and browned squash

captured,
i sit awash in morning's gifts
gathering courage
from waxen images
torn open
spilling seed

colors run together
until all i can see is brown
and I am reminded that
there is no tomorrow
without fertile soil.

  4. Wonderful. Enjoyed this. When I read the words fertile soil I could imagine the scent of the earth as the sun starts warming it in spring.
