a natural wilderness

Prayer for a new year

with a monk’s prayer for good bread

daily needing and kneading

after manna or

a rice bowl

hand me pasta and potatoes

followed by cake

all praise to whatever

I’ll blissfully polish away

with a portion for Buddha or a stray squirrel

Not every green mold is penicillin.

All that is mold does not shimmer.

Deep roots are not touched by the frost.
