Adam

Adam

I learned that rain
could give answers
always in tune
with the red petals
flicked by the dragonfly
and swallow. I knew
how to chain ancient
moans with a whisper
and begin a search
in the grey eyes of daybreak.
I once watched a peach
fall and crack into
a beautiful wet smile
of pale orange pulp,
only to be pecked
by crows while the grass
took care to hide the stone.
