Today could be the day
first bitten

spring curls beneath my hopeful brow
blackest dirt sings richness
alarmed with
promised growth

inside out openings
loves embracing
rows upon rows
peerless shining truths
fed on black water
planted without doubt
my ancestor
forgiveness seeds

Today could be the day
Alice’s rabbit hole found

first
small
spurts

ant energy
marching ...
intent
sober
clean

see yonder the finish line?

My feet crippled
******* to old stories
fathomed deep with slots
for copper pennies
unworkable
killable
outdated and futile

slathered in history
are cheap resigned actions
day after day
groundhog sing songs
each morning
eyes dry with snake cures
seeing my other side of the bed
missing out
slide rule elements of now
of what could be

Today could be the day
cherub heart
Pink with
expectation
alive with
bringing forth

communes
both sides
into action

I lay here supple
feeling the cure

ready

for
the
change

I
seek.
