Natures

here there back again

all nature

by circumstance

cleaves as it erodes

through happenstance

particle and wave

go their ways

nature holds to nature

we cleave to our natures

push-pulled back

take ocean shore

stake the moon

you’re a cat playing ball

i’m a dog to a bone

wash the sand from your feet

dust it back into sea

count how many faint stars

till full light rounds back

we hold to our natures

push-pulled

round the track

nature poetry
