30 april



CYCLE

first

find
someone who would benefit from help
this should not be hard
almost everyone needs help
this help
you can provide
to be specific
or you can point in the right direction
and be along for the ride
possibly driving
as needed

decide
there will be many contenders
someone who shows up
continually
in shared space
and does not go away
is a simple choice
and requires
few modifications

next

listen
learning about this person’s life
more than you knew
taking on the questions and problems
wondering through the answers

become
a go-to
gather the celebrations, complaints
consider closely the details
sifting through like tea leaves

soon

help
in all ways always
indispensable is too strong to say
too rude aloud but
still the need to know
to keep up and to provide

wonder
where other days are spent
other messages are sent
balance examined is too closely seen
wanting more but

then

drain
the energy in the wrong directions
useless worry and wonder how it came to
how the imbalance
why always the responsibility

risk
choice words of clarity
hard to say, to hear: generating confusion
alternately, silence
ether diverting the path
nowhere to go from here but

done

confuse
thoughts through regret
both for starting and stopping
leaving lonely
seeking comfort
better to give

[repeat]
