From Orchard
in company
to see to it
no tree lifts a branch
or bursts before another
Contain … Contain
in company
we will be asked
to bear fruit
and to surrender it
sometime
Not long …. Not long
in company
again and again
so that no shadow
falls over warming
of another
This … This
Quiet now
make your arms quiet
just wait for the fruit;
it arrives from the inside
Wait … Wait
in company
the smallest limb
must limber enough and muscle
to hold just that gesture
for the longest time
Until … Until
Tim Fitzmaurice
