Our feet scuffed drying ruts
along the riverbank
and we gave the land
our thanks for holding up

Alongside us, green bright head
curious,
a duck and drake kept pace

I know the quizzical eye
was a bread request
but you’re as lucky as the rest of us

Above us, swimming languid
in unbounded blue
two buzzards circled

My mind got to thinking:
what fate are they
hoping for?

imagine that the virus would
**** me fully and my verses
floated through algorithms
like real and fo shizzle

ain't no other take on this world
collapsing states the virus rages
should we all live inside of cages?
these are just words; just a poem

right? sure about your life?
everything is nothingness
people are packed with stress
who will read the last mass?

covid-19
people dying

I'm going have moments
Moments when I think about you
What I do without you

I'm going have moments.
Without you and for long and long
Its midnight

I've got some loose change
Spent it on a last drink
Like it was a time past two

But what are the moments
When everything comes crashing down
Rolling around
Tuck underneath these sheets
Was it never enough?
Or was it just good enough

So think about it about it
For a moment
For I'm going to have moments
When I think about you .
I'd die laughing about you .

Give me another chance would you
You know you do
So think about it it
A moment
Might need a moment
To think about you.  Before I might just puke nope


This moment could be the last one
I spent with you
I'm glad id share with you my hope .
. my dreams my sweet sweet Tennessee she my beauty

And if I didn't have that moment
That moment
I'd be lost but I'm glad I found you
Whiskey

i've been looking for
myself so often that

i forgot about the first time
i forgot about the last time

Changing schools,
       Changing countries,
             Changing jobs...

You start a new...

           You can feel lost...
Or
           You can trust...

That there's a plan...

You can connect to new people, and a new language...

You can fall in love with the new places...

You can trust as it all unfolds...
