Two green leaves grow
between gum trees
new leaves like
butterfly wings open
Big leaf shadows
shield them from the sun,
umbrellas against
sudden spring rain
Dangerous decades,
a doubtful future
for these tough leaves.
I crouch down to
see their juicy thickness,
their vital green. Veins clear.
I wish them well,
healthy growth from today.
