I tuck the agave babies beneath sheets of sand
and coverlets of sweet dreams and bark
never understanding
until following the Gloaming’s pointed finger.
I’d created a new path

Such tender, symbolic, and yet very grounded imagery. I love the seamless movement between symbolism and earthbound experiences you express here.
