Maple Seeds and Squirrels - Tim Hicks

[Larry Robinson]

Maple Seeds and Squirrels

How amazing it is 
that maple seeds spinning their way down
nourish squirrels
and seeds of all sorts birds feed on
to fly on air that supports bats and flying bugs
who do their own feeding dance 
and all so obvious and miraculous at once
and all so at once that time can hold and carry us
until we fall away to spin like maple seeds
and the urgency of sperm and egg
mates new us's to continue spinning 
down through whispering atmosphere
thick enough to caress with the wings of our souls
thin enough to let us go when time tells us so.
