This is How a Human Being Can Change
There’s a worm addicted to eating grape leaves.
Suddenly, he wakes up.
Call it grace, whatever,
something wakes him,
And he’s no longer a worm.
He’s the entire vineyard.
And the orchard too,
the fruit, the trunks.
A growing wisdom and joy
that doesn’t need
to devour.
