Do Not Forget

The post van trails bills

Jettisons dreams

Purring

Homing in

In red

Ink moves like blood in water

Beautiful

Or Orion’s belt

A cloud of

Atoms bursting into life

Recycling

Heavy metals into precious worlds

While    I    open    letters

Infinitely petty

Paper

Printed with too many little words

Humdrum

 

REMINDER: (do not forget

The universe

Or that we are made of stars)

In bold

So you can see

What it is you have to do.

The post van comes again

Combusting more loudly

Than suns

The rush of planets

On their daily rounds

Lost.

Inside the meadow

I hide.

Become a 

Sway

To dance with

Bees

And butterflies.
