Potato Planet

 

Not so deep
in the Widow Wyile’s garden
grow astonishing
tuber asteroids
hefty    knobby
nightshade beings
who give the phrase
all sizes and shapes
new meaning
widening wonder
as they emerge
from their earthen realm
into the light
of her consciousness
expanding her sense
of creative expression
and the possibilities
they reveal
regarding prized
constellations
of nourishment
leviathans below
ground feeding
spirit body mind
as she reverently be
holds this galaxy
of potato planets
in sight and hands
