Sweetness in Starlight by Matt Wertz

scatter

awake
         (wretched early)
i watch
plants diffuse in
early morning rain...

not even Carl
Linnaeus could define

the leaves growing

in my soul
at this particular moment.

how long must some thing
bloom

before some body
sees it?

i am waiting,
just watching furls unfold.

i wait for trees to
know my name

so we can talk for
hours in our     mornings
  all alone:

just so, as i told the swede,
i can feel some one knows

that   i  exist.
