Cumulus Life
I would like to be one of those late-summer souls, pushing on optimistically through concrete, unencumbered by August’s knowledge of declination,
oblivious of the fractures, decay
and underlying rot. I would love to push through as the last bloom of the season, luxuriating in the sand’s warmth accumulated over the long summer.
Lathyrus Japanicus, wild, common name: Beach Pea
But I’m a bit spent for that. I will just sow a few seeds in the sand
and trust that they will germinate in a better clime. Somewhere, sometime. Because life goes on.
And we all have to do our part.
