Day 109, 2023

after the wind
the river returns
to what silk must look like
rippling on a light breeze

the air, pensive and warm
a light rains springs up, leaves
unable to wash away
the sunset

though retired from trouble
there is the thought
it hasn’t retired from me

Day 107, 2023

just one more asshole
finding my way in the dark
using the echo of my voice
to measure distance
