Poem

Softening

September 8, 2025

Softening,
To the ground I fall
Burrowing in the stillness and damp
Delight at the knowing of nothing

Emerge,
Erupting at a quickening pace
Elation in the expansion,
Alight in remembering your face

Down, down, down
In, in, in
Up, up, up
Out, out, out

Around,
Alive,
Aflight
