Conversion
Just imagine that today
something different would happen:
one white peach
falling perfect
no bruise, no worm,
into welcoming grass;
a brooklet cradling watercress
clean and cold meandering
the Alabama Hills;
or sunrise
setting Lonepine Peak to alpenglow.
Just imagine one reason
to turn this
unkind and meaningless life
into an impulse of
immeasurable joy.
