In The Railyard Twenty-five years ago in the summertime, a man puts down his acetylene torch lifts his dark heavy mask to eat an apricot. Heedlessly thrown, the pit lands between a lamp post and a propane tank on oily earth. Summer sun dries, winter snow blankets as the stoic pit waits for spring melt to put forth a pink shoot, a white root. A sapling takes hold, prospers: green leaves, delicate blossoms sweet orange fruit in the railyard, discarded pit returning thousandfold. Robert Douglas Hickey
