At the Core

In the hot spring, when the sap rises to make blooms open their golden thighs for the dry juice of pollen carried on the tongues of birds and bees, I sometimes go out to our secret garden and sit naked in this white lawn chair to drink my coffee so I can hear life throb deep in the red core of the earth.
