Rain or sleet or snow?
Sometimes even flowers can
Become quite confused.

White shafts of bristle
Prickle in clumps at the base
Where truffles cluster.
*
Alfalfa sneezes
Its pollen calling card, deep
Inside a sink hole.

The scorched earth resists
Becoming a sponge until
Moisture stays steady.
*
All kinds of wild things
Swell alongside the suture
That ice cycles thaw.

Where is the future?
Not even a handful of
Thistles can tell you.
