I
Breathed out.
Loosing
Lizard Brain
that skittered
cross path
–tale switching
I
Breathed in.
Butterflies
folding
whitened flags,
–from which red had washed away
I
Picked a route.
–wary over river
in dew-soaked shoes I tripped
and righting–
every step I took
amplified the flow.
I
Relaxed.
Chary, still, of
distant
Rooster crow
–unaware
of dusk and dawn–
I
Felt
Pebble push afresh
in soul
–knowing
other
in another
I hadn’t noticed before.
I
shivered.
Wind combing
weight of hair,
sorting
snarls
unattended.
I
saw.
Leaves falling
to the left
inanimate and
animation,
wildflowers gilding right, and
dogged
behind—
I
Learned.
To fall
in ponds
To jump
in pools.
To
be the water and
fearless found
–an immersion so beautiful–
in truth,
I needed no
respite.
