The squirrels of remembering

Saturn is spinning with rings of rosy grey brown there beneath the maple tree 

     as a scurry of squirrels 

dashing circling 

     tag-your-it

at twelve-after-seven on a April morning in Nebraska  

the squirrels they ring

robins 

wrens 

bluejays 

        sing

Greeting ---- 

This Spring Sun 

rising rising against the constellation of tulips-stars & greenness green 

nothing is ever wasted 

matter never vanishes 

movement's ancient dance to seasons transformation 

where are the cranes now? 

where are the bison? 

who are we to bear witness to such glory? 

--Hello day-- 

     How lucky we are
