could be I’m tired
or lost, but to close my eyes
and nod off
while the world goes on
gives me a certain peace

the way a tree will  absorb a thing

the way
a tree will absorb
a thing

once again
the narrative
on the news
made no mention
of serenity…

I've lost count of the number of sunsets I've watched...

I’ve lost count
of the number of sunsets
I’ve watched…
