there’s no joy in
too much..
in too green
or too lush.
so i tend to rave in the fields
and draw circles in dust,
finding objects to hold
and others to hoard.
knitting blankets from weeds
and proudly trudging in muck.
lord, i couldn’t live without him
but i knew that i should.
i exist now as an echo,
while he wanders in caves
hoping someday
I’ll parrot
all his ill timed
affections
and lovelorn malaise.

Fine expression-quite enjoyable. Congrats.

Making much out of not much is a gift. Appreciating the unspectacular and even commonplace around us that is always along the sides of the road. Like discarded cans and bottles and MacDonald’s containers —the contents eaten. Like inauspicious people who come alongside for brief moments of our life. Good one.

it’s such a human peculiarity, the need to touch things, to hold it –
“finding objects to hold
and others to hoard.” – as if anchoring ourselves to something, and so well juxtaposed against the later “echo” you become, quite unable to hold or be held and contrasted to the more primitive wanderer who wants what he can’t hold.. so curious this human condition
