excess & regret
weighing the thread down weighing the words down until they are so small small I can’t find them
locked in carpet fibers, ash & forgotten love
like autumn’s leaves piled piled against the foundation
impossible shades of brown brown brown
oh how now brown dao
or should it be bough?
where does love go to wilt? to grow?
shadows or light
up or down . .. within without
excess & regret fill the pockets of tricksters & high-divers
also carried by owls across great divides
how much more can we divide?
where is the glory in loss
nothing ever truly disappears merely transforms
. . .excess & regret
