Civilized

by Jamie Lynn Heller

 

When we need reminding,

the wild vine will wind its way

under the back deck, up

through the gap by the mat

and bloom.  Drips of rain

will squeeze themselves

through cement and pool

together in the basement.  

Sparrows will move

into the dryer vent.

Ants will greet us

on the kitchen counter.
