Thistles

I tripped over the line
only to find myself

back on time.
thistles are

a plant of plenty
where

dogs and walkers
wander, growing

peacefully in
gentle spring shine. 

we are expecting
rain so we bring in

our washing. 
thistles expect nothing.

someday
together we will 

curl into earth 
dry and aflame.
