change

when has there never been change? as the creek flows & freezes

are your hairs & your skin not growing? all the shedding, the curling, the feeling

what makes you so certain? ideas idling on towers

frightened, narrow worlds playing with plastic powers

I owe you absolutely nothing oh, voids of preventable losses

my heart and my belonging live in hugs and shared exhaustion

look…

the way of the branch as it bends, twists, and reaches

look…

the way of the owl as it stares, glides, and teaches

look…

the way of the sun as it burns, shines, and beckons

look…
