When I Feel Lost

Muted sun through damp air will fuel thunderstorms.

Grand as they are, sunflowers are bowing

as bees feast in flowering centers.

So far, a minimal garden. Did the seeds know

my heart wasn’t present when I planted them?

Soaring through star clusters, somewhere

between the living and dead, my thoughts escaped.

But now they’re hovering like hummingbirds

descending from slender branches to the feeder

with fresh sugar water.
