The Struggle between Plenty and Thankfulness
Today when I framed
two crows
in the notch of the ash tree,
I thought of order.
Rain
was in the forecast
and presto, rain. Then
three crows
in the field tilted the world
as if imbalance were
a blessing
dropped in the cup I keep
for blessings. Then
four crows
in the grass, five
on the wire, my plate
heaped up
with six crows.
