A very short poem about overcoming adversity.
What motivates you
street weed
in a gravel driveway—
the first of your kind
to rise
amongst the rocks
and plant
the green flag of biology
into pure geology
so that the forest
has a signal flare:
a seed
of stone.
–David O’Boyle writes a tanka of poems. Check em’ out.
