In Verse: A Plant or Two In Your Cave

Bruce Cockburn–Salt, Sun and Time 
“It Won’t Be Long”

the petals from the geraniums we brought indoors
litter the oak floor after I vacuum the room
when I take the huge ferns down for water
they leave a drift of leaves beneath
do not doubt the beauty of nature in winter
Keep a plant or two in your cave

Curio : A new type of content. It's not "news" and it's not "commentary," it may not even be about Minot. But whatever it is, Minot may need it or you may enjoy it!
