Seed
By Alan Botsford Saitoh
Anybody can see the seed of change:
It curls, fern-like, out from under
Every moment, a tongue, a feather,
A flame lifting into the air,
Its presence, like a loaf of bread,
Rising to every occasion. And into
The soil of wherever it is, it puts down
Roots like fingertips… before bunching
Like a fist into a budding revolution.
