There was
this mom
who back
when I
was young
adopted every
neighborhood kid
that mom
that block
mom that
every single
kids mom
was one
of many
moms who
knew that
most of
us kids
never had
a mom
at home
at all

Idyllic
I don’t
ever want
to change
this being
alone it’s
simply idyllic
thinking and
wondering nothing
this is
to me
the forest
when at
last the
snow falls
and everything
except winter
goes silent
Humility
Humility is
not the
absence of
anything but
rather the
inclusion of
everything and
its profound
quiet acceptance
Reduction
I am
now reduction
having finally
folded in
and collapsed
within myself
having spent
years on
simmer I’m
now finally
ready to
taste be
added to
and eaten
now being
the best
least of
what used
to be
ForeverBest
Used to
using you
as my
first cup
I now
reach for
my coffee
piping hot
creamy and
delicately sweet
it’s the
least having
lost my
forever best
