FLEXIBLE MIND (for Rob Lewis)
by Paul Nelson
FLEXIBLE MIND
(for Rob Lewis)
is rooted
in a place.
Most any
place.
THE SECRETARY
of
TRANSPIRATION
knows:
“Water begets water,
soil is the womb,
and vegetation
the midwife”
before he plants
a future cloud
in the ground
of his bioregion.
Flexible
as water.
Savvy as the crows
ruin lawns
with beaks
hunting
European chafer
beetle grubs.
Crow sushi.
Wily mind
flexible
as}
a
CROW.
