Another Glow at It
b.r.crandall
Cosmos is stubborn,
fighting hard for last-minute bees
and butterflies who are looking
for one more sugar high before
frost jackhammers at the roots.
I try not to rake too much from it.
There will come a time to mulch
leaf patterns into the ground,
but for today I’m feeding
stray cats living my best life outside
(& inside my head).
A few of the workers are resting,
buzzing silently in dreams…
back-petalling & snoring
from summer hive days (not
sure if they are drunk from nectar or
happy for one last feast).
I’m thinking of Jason, too,
the ways he always finds
a way to glow, too..
with his writing project wings.
to fight as they do.
