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

communing near a commune of vultures
her wonder repaints the world

and I hobble along in my own way, grateful
to just watch and be included in the picture

Day 15, 2023

(it’s winter and the 2nd Deck dance floor is cold and empty)

on the nature of winter and of pain:
one must learn to let go of body
this blood and bone machine
or get dragged under
like all broken engines that are run,
regardless
