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


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. / Thank you. —Ross Gay
Say only, thank you. / Thank you.
