SO MANY by Robin LaMer Rahija

Woman with glasses leaning forward. Picture of Robin LaMer Rahija


beautiful things lived here.
That small boned bird that glowed in the understory.
That big wide mushroom that was underneath us that whole time.
That elm the autumn of the drought when the leaves fell before they changed.
I stood under a field of green on a field of green on a field of green.
I understood then. There is no need to hurry death forward.
