In a silver jar, behind a cactus plant,
Grow answers, also doubts, by design.
On that high shelf, by crystalline doves,
Perches mirror porcelain bits, extra fine.
By those insignificant cattle troughs,
Splash short-winged ducklings ‘til it’s time.
Smokey dreams seem more often all mirage—
Life’s a murky montage because we can’t align.
