Answer» tion:“WILD PANSY” BY LISA BELLAMYAs a seed, I was shot out the back end of a blue jaywhen, heedless, she flew over the meadow.She had swallowed me in my HOMELAND when she SPIED melying EASY under the sun—briefly, I called her Motherbefore I passed through her gullet like a ghost.In a blink of God’s eye I was an orphan. I trembledwhere I fell, alone in the dirt. That first nightwas a long night, early May and chilly, and I rememberrain filled my furrow. I called out for mercy—only a wolverine wandered by. I cursed my luck,I cursed the happenstance of this world, I smelledhis hot stink, but he nosed me deep into the mud—this was the gift of obscurity. I germinated, hiddenfrom the giants of earth, the jostling stalks,the VARIOUS, boisterous bloomers, and this was my salvation.After seven days and nights I pushed through—yes. Here I am, kissable: your tiny, purple profusion. |
