And do not / take cover. Instead, curl your toes

ascending from your lips. Walk

into the grass, watch the cloud
into the grass, watch the cloud
ascending from your lips. Walk
ascending from your lips. Walk
through the garden’s dormant splendor.
through the garden’s dormant splendor.
Say only, thank you.
Say only, thank you.
Thank you. —Ross Gay
Thank you.
