before the last step down
to the living room
her rebuke
the reflection
of the mental health building

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
black swallowtail
chooses to settle a spell
on a purple thistle

wanting my old life
when I wanted
my present life
stirring the soup she made
as a cold rain falls outside
mid-stream
the stones are in
a balancing act

heart to heart
we reach that place
that exists in the past
from which we are no longer
just here…
the photo
that moment
just that moment…

could be I’m tired

gives me a certain peace
the way
a tree will absorb
a thing
