Life
September 2011

Already the temperatures have hit 30 degrees C
the days get longer as dusk and dawn stretch golden fingers into the dark

Spring

warm air wraps us in its silken cloak as we sit on the veranda at night

still two months before the rains…

but life is everywhere

full buds at the tips of dry branches
waiting for the day when the risk to remain
tight-wrapped
is more painful than the risk to blossom

with extraordinary individuality
each tree chooses its own time to face this new birthing
patient with their own calling

sifting through the  Rue flowers
a bee gathers pollen
grain by grain
