I REMIND US

The other side of the moon

is tangled in the town of our old selves.

I grapple for safety and pass-times

to please myself

watch wind ruffle leaves

stagger towards tomorrow

One day at a time

I’m a mental health client

willing my way through comfort zones

like a willow weeping to the ground

waiting for Eve to untangle herself

and take me back home.
