listen

there’s peace.

there’s relief.

there’s death.

there’s February.

there’s blossom.

there’s apple.

there’s love.

there’s fear.

there’s what’s the point?

there’s silence.

there’s a door.

there’s rain.

a muddy puddle.

now clear.

there’s a stroke.

of luck.

of genius.

of body.

there’s whole.

there’s broken.

there’s closed.

there’s open wide.

there’s what we do.

there’s what’s done

to us.

in this kingdom

of skin

there’s work to be done.
