Sitting in the sun
warming my back against the wall of heaven.
The people inside are as a choir of lights –
all textures, colors, and intensities.
They sing together over a lunch.
I will join them soon,
but first I must visit the lizards
crawling out of a labyrinth of ancient tree roots
They are checkin’ me out
Giving me the side eye
Doing push ups in sun rays
Kicking up dirt everywhere
Little enlightenment friends
Our communities are entwined
I love you
I love you all so
so much
