FABRIC, THE BACK OF….

In a garden - I  stopped to touch

the white fabric of a rose - only to

see directly below - sitting there

at the roots of that rose bush -

the rough hard back of a turtle….

Wow the difference between the

top of a turtle and the fabric of

a rose - between the back of the

neck of a  laughing kid on a swing

and the back skin of that old guy I just

saw in the nursing home heading back

to his room in his open backed johnny.
