What Have I Learned

What have I learned but 
the proper use for several tools?

The moments 
between hard pleasant tasks

To sit silent, drink wine,
 and think my own kind
 of dry crusty thoughts.

—the first Calochortus flowers
 and in all the land,
 it’s spring.

I point them out:
 the yellow petals, the golden hairs,
 to Gen.

Seeing in silence:
 never the same twice,
 but when you get it right, you pass it on.
