Everything I’m Taught

 



Get in the ditch when the plains sky gets green

Let your night vision click in 

Listen to the bullfrogs

Wave at the neighbors, 

Be aware of your periphery.

Listen to yourself, dear, 

Auntie said, maybe she spoke of love,

And trust your gut

And say thank you 

For more fireflies this season

Always watch the sky

Smell the earth & air—

My iteration of how 

I have to try to live, 

My lessons, just blooming 

More somehow, amid

A million other

Beautiful ones 

I so want 

To hear.
