is neither absence nor lack

but a green Moon – the frame
around the young Wheat beyond,

a heavenly gateway
that beckons us to quit the path,

and pass through this cunicle,
this cunning – finger its tender flowers,

its pitted stems, feel frissons
of what we once knew as holy.

Thereafter trust that the bird not
in the hand is worth a cunctipotence

in the bush, and reawaken the desire
for Life’s wild fecundity.
