thank you
for paramedics and peas
the lives of beds
crows in sycamores
the scent of baby’s hair
scraps of night in moonlight
plum leaves and October winds
thank you for catching
all I missed seeing
for sparkling in the dim 9-6
for appetizers during the hungry 6-7
for entertaining the weary 7-11
thank you for the thousand vacations
the balloon rides and deep dives
the sudden leaps and hidden paths
the unfolding’s the well-packaged
the raw and rare and unpolished
thanks for the free tickets
to vertical worlds of wonder
flipping the turnstile of a heart
to find the secret door
to a soul
