remembering my best self
I have flowers all over the yard
not planted, but rather in pots
for this is Kansas
Clay country
Sometimes I Iong for the fields of Iowa
where even the bottom lands has pliable dirt
this clay encourages renegade trees
I have tripped over them and fallen down
three times this week
You would think I would have caught myself
at least once
being 72 is a lot more prone to falling
than being 71 was
