this simple life is not
the
buckling banks
beneath
me

sea tossed and torn away

this, another round of
flotsam accumulation

grief surged, spent is
surf's phlegm
or river's hem

isn't picturesque this

mudlarking

there isn't

a lost or a bust

but a plus

to soul ending worry gone

now it's just

and tales

are

day in
day out
one step
one


this is enough

your photo from 5 years ago
your eyes I shared just yesterday with Eloise
I've walked thrice crying

Interdependent communities raise out of suffering and death. - Ernst Mayer

last quarter, orionid aftermath

revising memories of memory

integrating
the single human hair
that is our history

into this reflection of falling light

which leads back
into the light
