sixty-six

each morning rising with an almost unexpected spark 

this wonderlife 

filled & emptied 

filled & emptied 

joy to sorrow to pain to stasis to sorrow to joy 

each breath a surprise 

scraping against the tide 

each movement a tender flight 

how can we hold such multitudes at once? 

our human magic a mystery 

unknown to some 

celebrated in the smaller things like the blues of a June morning 

the slumber of a dog 

the smell of a coming storm 

becoming lost & found to the empty & full 

becoming closer to our younger self . . . so wrapped in the velvet of tomorrows 

brushing tangibly viscerally against moments past 

(i can smell 1968) 

people past 

wonder & magic 

sorrow & pain past 

Oh how the veil thins 

Oh the slumber of a dog 

   and all that remains ...

let go 

hello morning . . .
