equalization
inspiration strikes as energy wanes
another grand scheme makes food for dreams
energy rises as inspiration sags
at last, the floor is clean
inspiration strikes as energy wanes
another grand scheme makes food for dreams
energy rises as inspiration sags
at last, the floor is clean
the light chain sound. the bathroom fan. the clink
of coin in piggy bank. the stories
of what we did tonight. the preparations.
sleep, sweet destination.
sons, nine years apart
see each other once a year
bond with dinosaurs
some things that should be done become things that must
and some become things that didn’t but might
and others never become, they just stay things
that cover every flat surface
from the wing-beats of a butterfly,
a hurricane. from the impulse of
a child, a holocaust. turn these around.
from where does peace arise?
