In the month of March / Charlie Mehrhoff
In the month of March
just a few days before Spring
looking up at the tall maple,
at the lone leaf that survived
this northern winter.
I climb to take her
stem and all.
Will grind as fine as powder,
mix and bake
into a sourdough
loaf –
strength
for the family
this coming year.

OK, JH! Here’s to the Lillio, infinito! Me, DF, I’m humbled and thrilled no end, to know Charlie Mehrhoff and Scott Watson, and their fiery jewels from poiesis. Thanks for checking in here, Perpetual Bird! – Donna
