We Make a Prairie
Let’s make a prairie you said
and we walked into the stony field
here’s violets you said
I reached my hand
into the air here’s daisies
I said you took
my hand we made more of everything
milkweed wildflowers
we tied a ribbon
to a stand of trees you said
ferny things and I laughed
we didn’t forget about the foxes
the sky was pinned down
in places the moon
was so thin we could see the blue
through it we were finished
and a little hungry
and God saw that it was
but we walked home
without waiting
for the answer
tomorrow you said
what shall we make tomorrow
I said yes
