Volunteers

Cellarway


Faith in the cycle of lives

faith in the seasons

natives sprung up on their own

volunteers heavy with seed after rain

bowing in the cellarway

dear weeds with the rest of us

sliding toward fall

hot breath of the past soon to cool

tickseed sunflowers

soon to rise again here

come spring

with or without us

faith in the cycle of things

ever faith in the earth

ever in us

soon to bloom.
