things are unfolding
flower buds appear
then petals open
time keeps unfolding
now
everything moves toward dust
time seems to unfold backward
am I becoming the dust
just a petal

These are fragments of life;
I’m not sure any of this makes sense;
Still, these pieces seem to fit together somehow.
Somehow.
And what of it?
How do we connect the dots?
All of this,
every bit of it!
We might call it life,
But how do we come to accept these pieces
And make them whole?
So what does it all mean?
What are we supposed to make of it?
Have you seen
My thinning hair?
I have too.
I know you’ve noticed.
And,
My wrinkles or my tired eyes?
“Ok, yes,
these are pieces.
I understand.”
Somehow,
We’ll keep insisting,
that somehow,
they all fit together.
the day is too still
to begin.
I hope the sun
never breaks
through the clouds.
I hope my mind stays
unclear
and every breath
barely a whisper.
what then?
what else?
