That
Too
Timeless
&
Newborn
Capering
Through
What love
Can leave on those
Traces
of Earth
Enduring
The rivers and
All that
May be true
Maybe.
My whole past, too.
My heart.
The lost part
Of the brain.
Cutting like a Samurai’s sword
Touching the grass
Or taking off a tight shoe
Death the way
Ram Dass felt it.
