Jesus Married
HAYDEN CORWIN

Mary plays with the children 
  alone. 

They roll along the lawn 
imitating bugs and 
   laughing at absolutely everything. 

The grass is long where 
worms burrow up, 
and bumble bees take a moment 
   to sunbathe on Mary’s tulips. 

She shows the kids how to 
  somersault through the sprinkler 
before resting 
     in the shade of a cottonwood tree. 

It’s been a warm summer, 
    it’s nice to take a rest.
