from The Seed Shop
By Muriel Stuart
...Here in their safe and simple house of death,
Sealed in their shells a million roses leap;
Here I can blow a garden with my breath,
And in my hand a forest lies asleep.

Baby Orang-utan

Bold flare of orange -
a struck match
against his mother’s breast
he listens to her heartbeat
going yes yes yes
