surely I was blessed to be there

surely I was blessed to be there
2006—Buckhorn Springs

I found my genie there
hiding out as I can’t
not good enough 
and unworthy in this company
like the carbon dioxide 
on this property
she burbled from the ground,
and relieved to be free
unleashed a torrent of words
as powerful as Sunday’s wind
starting with bull shit 
and never mind that silliness
walk on by

first crocus buds exploding 
from cold ground
