The Red Chair in the Green Garden
the red chair in the green garden
is a stop sign, a stepping stone,
a resting place.
A flaming counterpoint to green chaos,
a perch, an altar, a pulpit
the red chair in the green garden
heartbeat, a red eye, a master and
the green garden is a flock of sheep
a resting place
a bus and the green passengers
loll and spill over but arrive at their destination safely
the red chair in the green garden
a servant, a bowl of unwashed beans
raw and woody; unprepared, unconsumed
a resting place
breath, hunger, longing and fulfillment,
the red chair in the green garden
a resting place.

This is a villanelle. A seemingly complicated structure that is actually easy and effective for getting more out of the rhythms
and images in a few lines of poetry.
