What I need
is always near
a leaf, a blade of grass
a patch of open sky

My mother on walks
would return with
a bird feather
which she examined carefully

And later would mail
to me or her brother
who also understood
the particular

and how the whole
could, would be
viewed from anywhere
just by bending over.

By taking the time to get on the same level as simple everyday things, we give it all new meaning. Beautiful poem! :)

the ending has a subtle yet obvious double entendre that brings everything into focus ...
