If I had to pick one, I guess I’d say
mineral. If I had to pick one, I guess I’d say
feldspar. Maybe it has veins or tiny pores
to let the ants come in. Maybe I’m
a chunk of feldspar growing in your garden,
something like a beet or a large, silent ox—
animal
vegetable
mineral
an earthly trinity that can’t be contained.
I really like this one. Simple language and beautiful.
Thank you! It did want to be kind of spare and simple.
