19 february

tumbledown motherboards shortcircuit as the jerky logic collapses past syllogisms and into real life
there's no use in forcing sense where only weather can pattern
where a smattering of wonder plays: this is where my path will lead
steeds instead and words unsaid (truth or factions tracked and lacking)
will you remember how we sat?
there are lessons here but no one's teaching
only tests and no right answers
from the floor the world is taller
in the dark the snow is smaller
wait as the melt helps itself to the earth - soft and kind and wet and blind
even as the season thinks it through
even as the pass from me to you comes untwined
a half-bind and a stretch up toward the ceiling - looking to the sky
let me ask no questions
so many tired mentions
the spiral of a staircase
a shell too easily replaced
sitting still and counting half-pigeons
lotus locus no control and open toll bridges
forgiveness of the self the health and the paid-out loans
droning on i hear my worry seep
holding fast i will the letting go
backmind maps the future steps
heart aware and sunfaced to the sky
dark eyes and mirrored days: let me take this hand and answer
thank you welcome goodbye also please
