earth note 747


i admit that i've used
the forest and every offshoot
parasite or not
as a means of escape

river current staggers home
after years of wandering
like a promise
finally kept

relevance may be an outlier
even if it begins and ends in plain sight
eventually everyone needs to learn
how to dig with their hands and feet

i hide on the north side of the house
the dark side of the valley
but this is not abandonment
