A Meditation of Small Frogs by Charlotte Eichler


i.


look –


climbing through moss


crisp seams

down their backs


ii.


curl your hand 

under them gently


two cool bellies 

on your palm


slimy intimacy

with earth


iii. 


let them go


longtoeing back

to the stream


tiny gold rings

in their eyes
