EVERYBODY KNOWS

It could be everything
has heart and soul
of some dimension,

like the lupine in a pot
trying to grow – it
could be even the dry

hulls, the hollow stems
and skeletons of old
feed, claim some residual

brilliance yet to be realized
by summer cows this fall
in a healthy, suckling bull.

Everybody knows –
even the mosquito
ever-probing for a pulse.
