Testimony
Rebecca Baguette

I want to tell you
that the world is still beautiful.
I tell you that despite
children raped on city streets,
shot down in school rooms,
despite the slow poisons seeping
from old and hidden sins
into our air, soil, water,
despite the thinning film
that encloses our aching world.
Despite my own terror and despair.

I want you to look again and again,
to recognize the tender grasses,
curled like a baby’s fine hairs
around your fingers, as a recurring
miracle, to see that the river rocks
shine like God, that the crisp
voices of the orange and gold
October leaves are laughing at death.
I want you to look beneath
the grass, to note
the fragile hieroglyphs
of ant, snail, beetle. I want
you to understand that you are
no more and no less necessary
than the brown recluse, the ruby-
throated hummingbird, the humpbackwhale,

 the profligate mimosa.

I want to say, like Neruda,
that I am waiting for
“a great and common tenderness,”
that I still believe
we are capable of attention,
that anyone who notices the world
must want to save it.

Tomorrow, tomorrow's wind will blow.

Today, entrust yourself to today's winds.

It was a good day of happy events.

I am grateful, grateful indeed.

Woman is a ray of God.
She is not that earthly beloved:
she is creative, not created.

BEAUTY EVERYWHERE

The open desert
My garden
My dawn mountain





Rattlesnake want to be - gopher snake, she mimics the coloration and tail shake.
 Non-venemous

Everything that is made beautiful and fair and lovely
is made for the eye of one who sees.

If you aren't headed briskly
toward that garden,
then get rid of your congestion
and smell the fragrance. 
Let it draw your soul to the garden.
