In one leaf

In one leaf is all

is all of a life.

Each life is lived /

the hour of its death.

Blueberries obscured. /

Unfolding with each moment. /

Gracing the future.

Life for all its faults /

Hangs like a Spring water drop — /

Waits for a freeing breeze.

“Life”

Life

Mushrooms grow on death, /

turning a lifeless tree trunk /

Into life support.
