To Live Through
Ruminating on forgotten lines
and joys never lost,
I straighten my spine
to hear the god-wind
and the crickets that persist in the treeline
as the leaves don’t.
Winter is more straightforward to live through.
What remains is worth remaining.
What breathes deserves to be known.
At this vertebra of my life,
the possibility of locusts worming into my ears,
I let the future of my skin go.
Letting my eyes devour the dusk coating the field,
I smile at the blazing silence of mind.
