so predictable
the way things go
nicely for awhile
and then the trouble
with one thing after another…

a still life

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
