Passing The Unworked Field
Queen Anne’s lace
is hardly prized but
neither is it idle,
look how it
stands fiercely
on its thin stem,
how it
nurtures its white budlets
with the
gift of the sun,
how it
makes for this world
all the
loveliness it can.

gentle strength.

after finding a tiny baby mole

who has died

along the side of the road

the kids say a few words on its behalf

and place it in the soft leaves of the woods

as a kind and gentle memorial gesture.

strength.

wearing an ac/dc t-shirt, ripped up jeans, and velcro shoes

all while wrapped in a cape made from your swaddling blanket

bestows unlimited strength and heroic powers upon you.

to persevere and endure in spite of overwhelming obstacles.”
