Assembly Dance Anxiety

Inside the walled garden insist on forever

recoil at the angels faces

peering from the grotto

notice what you must in the geometry of the last supper

observe only most the brilliant aspects

that have existed in this moment

listen to music while you write

remember last night as we went to sleep

happy, under my heavy wine blanket,

knowing that the dull thudding of a sudden  downpour

would give the newly planted euphorbias

a watering they so desperately needed

it was kind warm rain

I hope that they have taken root.
