In Quaker Meeting

Lesley Morris considers Meeting for Worship

this morning
I practise sitting still
in the top of a tree
legs abreeze

I slip my mind
breathe the natural order
tree inside me
me in tree
on a branch nearby
an old woman winks
and continues knitting

the under hum of sap
rises through the branches
I lean toward
the small white flowers
on the meeting room table
