dog’s tongue as divining rod.
Everything’s thirsty.

Wood, sand, stones and shells:
We bring these inside the house
and breathe easier

The greenest lizard
crawling out of the compost
— the world is magic

My husband unpacks,
shakes out grains of river sand
Each one a story

A birthday bouquet
finally drops its petals
Makes me feel my age
