On Tuesday, Meditation Did Big Things to Me
Some days, I’m
healed, craving deep,
frozen time,
holding this
now, wishing for old friends, but
they’re gone, so I sit.

roadside ditches, mud
splashes my
face, smothers
my blown hopes, but some grant me
grace, allow me life.

battles, drying out
in fierce winds,
waiting for a permanent history
where I fall no more
