Palms.
Over-spread
Spread over
in January
on desert
afternoons
known for dry
attached to heat.
Then the movement comes.
Convection
starts as a breeze
and ends up turning
the raw into a memory.
And the shadows
of those tamed fronds
are far from
where Jesus tread
but once a connection comes
it’s hard
to let it go.

Thanks!
