an unfinished book project

on shelf goes unnoticed

like brimed-sliced cucumbers you placed in pickle

jar

last summer 

& last autumn,

there is still a jar of

home-grown dried calendula flowers in olive 

oil-

you forgot to strain-

you wonder if your poems

are too mush-salty or 

saffron-flowery

Unfinished home-made calendula oil project

unfinished

not river flowing but shallow pool
       of dewdrops
not colorless but midnight cocoon 
       under strawberry moon
not restlessness of wild season but slow 
       spring fire bubbling underneath 

silence is my companion
       not noise or music  
as i edit, shape and refashion
       this canvas
never complete nor empty
       ... just unfinished
