Grounded

The heart of the sky        
framed in limbs        
A tree shedding        
bark like skin        
       
A kaleidoscope of leaves        
swarms toward summer        
My hair becomes nested        
in dirt and fertilizer        
       
Grilled smoke dissipates        
in the distance, a sacrifice        
unto the god of taste        
       
I hear it in the cricket wings        
their metronome allegro        
134 steadied-second beats      
       
"April, 'the cruelest month'        
is fast approaching"        
       
~        
       
       
       
       
Am I the only one who feels blessed        
by our Critique Series and amazing      
critiquers like Johnny Blaze?
