I nearly drove over abundance
six turkeys crossing under the crest
of the hill
slowing my movement of time
to observe royal feathers crowned
in folded gold. The wattle of pride
leading his blessings. Above
the sky breathes clouds
and my eyes take in fortune
trumpeting over darkness
and her calf hovering
above Earth
weightless molecules
levitating hope
My own body pressing
against division grounded by birds
pulses with infinity
while elephants dissolve
into the blue beyond

Thank you, Helene. I’m so glad you enjoyed it. The elephant’s trunk was the first thing I saw. I think we often see what we most need to see. ❤
