living – Leaf And Twig

Old Friend

you and I
on creaky knees
still enjoying a wander

living
in a work
of art

the rock wall
grew a monument
to love and loss and living

never seen
indoors or a store
living tree to mouth

Clouds hide away the sun.
Cold paints the world blue.
Is this living on the moon?

A single stem
an ordinary weed
the exquisite process of living.
