Fruitful

This is a slow and sure process
It never got this far before
The ground too unsteady
with the heave of energy in motion
To ever take hold

This time
All systems checked
By chemical messaging
A swelling of flesh the flag
A fecund rotundity
And a gathering of more detail
Being
Stitched
Together
In the interior

The bushes were abundant this year
Heavy with celebration on their boughs
Flower and fruit magnificent and early
Festive amidst an ever changing landscape

You demanded even temper
With a hot and fierce sensation

We’ve heard and seen you!
Swimming
Your fingers, ribs, toes

There is daily epiphany
Your footprints are anticipated
In our external/internal universes

The pumpkin and melon are still promising
The beans climbing higher, higher
And we are running out of jars
