Fingers in a Bush
by Elizabeth Kujanpää
Under gangly stalks of lavender,
I stick my finger out, hoping to
Catch a honey bee. The sun settles
into my neighbor’s roof and
The blue grass twitches with invisible
legs. When the new dusk thrums, I
am left to wonder — will the grass
grow this rowdy in the next life?
