Alphabet Seeds

She writes a poem
A day
And cuts it up
Into pieces
Scattering the letters
Into the wind
And praying
That the "p"s will take root
And the "q"s will land on fertile soil.
She dots her "t"s
And crosses her "i"s,
Not unlike
Crossing one's fingers or
Knocking on wood
While listening for pings
And waiting for a response.

Gravity Happens

A bead
of water forms
on head of faucet

Swelling
imperceptibly
but surely until

It drops
as it becomes
a drop

and stops,
splashing into
a teacup.

Gravity happens.
