carrots
don't talk back
even the garlic
submits
yet this isn't about power
really
it's about brightness
and hunger and how day turns into night turns into day again so that
winter gives over to spring so that
the green things can grow-suddenly, fiercely, tenderly-so that
dinner gets made somehow
and the belly is full
and how come I get to be here
and why not potatoes
and what about love and then suddenly and fiercely and tenderly
everything, everywhere, ultimately
always is
