Sea Grape
Various
species of Mahonia are native to our area, though I believe this is a
cultivated variety. The berries are edible.
globules and kidney glomeruli
that bulge out in cascades
posted rounds of a sea
that waves as you go by
sudden drenches of sky
that have collected in bunches
long horoscopes of the future
that mangle out their swirls and signs
the door to heaven that is close enough to try
each blur of blue signals smoke to me
the proof of maturity and the slipper of
movement some days the only way to understand
the world is to stand
before the fruit
of the tree and wait for what is a sea of grapes
to fall as if this
is all we are to do is to simply trust
in the harvest that is
all about us
