Some days the weight darkens.
Another round of trying so hard.
Just wraps the show
ponies in a knot.
Even the coffee does not offer
the possibility of an end to the
crying birds and sudden rain.
But then, it starts.
I think, “I have a choice.”
The world goes on.
I set controls for the
heart of the day.
Silent for a moment,
the words flow
And I notice everything.
Nothing is wiped away.
Each sip of coffee,
a timeless place with exits only.
I will not fade away today.
Not today.
