17.
uncertainty is the rhythm of the world
18.
my soul is a storm / this body
a temporary flood wall
19.
grant us a gentle and plentiful garden
and a dazzling end to the world
20.
then there are the days, needed
that were not known as needed
21.
this spit of summer rain will be a fantasy
come August
22.
this daydream: a world walled and safe
in a myriad labyrinth built
of honeysuckle, bamboo, kudzu
