midnight silver garden

Today I swallow
hailstones to reclaim
an inheritance:
safety box deposited
in a silver midnight garden

I like it when earth
collects under fingernails
and worms roll juicy
in swollen soil

arms will bathe torn
in hundreds of thorns

surreality arrives and departs,
a train halts to admire
a mighty blue heron scanning
its future on a shoreline
