be a living one
this is a daisy. that
there on the road
is death. all the little
versions we wrest
for ourselves. living
the learned sentences.
the invented systems: property. lack.
the entrances you like.
the ones you don’t.
it’s possible to make up
a language. it’s possible
to be a living one.
just so. a gradient
of intimacy. sometimes,
a heart is closer
to the front of the body.
it makes little sense
but inside of each of us,
a gate opens. opens. go
on. the road will teach.
practice, therefore, praise
and brave.
