When counting blessings
like spare
Change
keeps
Adding up to
Less sense
than we thought we had,
stashed In crevices
it is the
Change
Saved
For a rainy day
That makes its way
Toward
Something found...
Even green
wears off
Leaves
and becomes something
More
In time, interesting...
The zinc sky reflects
Itself
empty
but unbroken.
