part 2

as i lay and stare at nothing really
i think i see a shadow far above
and something falls
a small thing
hits my head
splashes in the water

i sit up
reach into the shallowness
grab the thing and hold it up

i must sit and ponder a moment
what is this thing?
a word springs forth - seed
and an idea jumps into my head - plant

so i dig a shallow hole in a shelf of the pit
place the seed inside
cover it gently with dirt
and i wrap my arms about my knees
and sit
and wait
and watch
