Go All In
by
Radiance Angelina Petro

The arum flower has one petal.
Skunk cabbages leave the jackets
of their bodies open to keep the air
flowing inside them.
There are a thousand species of rhododendron,
and luna moths make their homes
in hickory trees.

These are all God-wished,
and the mental prayers
of seasons.

There is fatigue in resting.
Move and be energized.
Rise and thoughts scatter, like minnows.
It’s a free-thinking day. Go all in.
Add the facts of your life to the mix.
The world is not done.
