this thing
called ‘life’
patchwork of
frailty
from robust seed
seared limp
through vagaries of
heat
seeking salience
as globe revolves
even without
us
days silken smooth
dangle sweet
stolen by capricious
winds
mattering's refused
recycling worn tapes
peanut gallery
within
judge self as abandoned
in Father’s absence
his character
slurred
deaf to lessons
as winter’s early
dusk and darkness
descends
solitary friend’s
presence
suspends in night
sky
song of bloom
pierces snow
Maker's voice is
heard
