Leaving Out


late afternoon
      
   alive
        
         in the richness
                of mint and tea

there is no sound
        
                         above
       detail on the skin

                 the trees
     turning sky into lace

not thinking of  
          how

                    I see
         myself like this
... I grow mint; sometimes I drink tea; the yard is a great place.

I really, really like this. Great structure, and it leaves a lot to the imagination. I love poetry that creates an atmosphere, and that's exactly what this is.
