looking for water . can be a tricky business . for the amateur
in just a month’s time . food will replace the flower . that showed up today
a distinctive call . brings the wilderness, cutting . through the city noise
hundreds of arrows . painted on sidewalks to repair . have been there for years
only in stillness is wisdom rediscovered and progress is made
easily ignored . in the chaos of ego . wisdom is patient
wisdom casts shadows . created in history . and easily heard
the horrors i’ve seen . were oftentimes just active . imagination
someone has vanished . in mid-stride, leaving behind . their purple flip-flops
it’s safer to judge . from a distance; get too close, . risk understanding
