in our daily
repetitions
our comfort is
habitually nestled
in a sunny welcoming
of familiar pathmarks...

this smoothness short-lived
when unease finds play..
a once familiar mark
registers differently
our fittings and
complacency disturbed
distressed...

a grasping then
for restoral..
sometimes when darkly
shocked
in disturbed awareness
we are astonished
a minor tweak
resolves into a
path entirely new...
