i walk in green –
green twilight; green cell walls
of shrubs of grass of timberline
swelling with fecundity
and vigorous mushroom tips
after raindrops: verdure.
i walk in sequence -
rows of particulating bergamot,
golden rods and snapdragons
three inches apart; plucked weeds.
row of order (of reason)
unbeknownst to my Cree ancestors
who crave unscathed chaos
in their fatherland.
i walk in beauty –
beauty in a child’s momentum.
beauty in cadences of pink laughter
and distant chatter.
beauty in numbers and
beauty in the smile she gave me
as she walked
while i walked: even though,
i will never see her again.
