on this day of thanks
on this day of thanks
to pause and take reflection
grateful for cousins
haiku
to pause a moment
to pause a moment
in quiet celebration
this thanksgiving day
a quiet so deep
a quiet so deep
now will never come again
trapped by the future
to search for meaning
to search for meaning
in friction of history
embracing our myths
hold onto right now
hold onto right now
for tomorrow is a myth
events unfolding
by the iphone’s light
by the iphone’s light
bbq’ing in the dark
must feed the belly
shiver in the dark
shiver in the dark
in that early morning time
visiting with ghosts
releasing her voice
releasing her voice
that soft caressing of sound
a display of love
that’s a bit foolish
that’s a bit foolish
even for someone like you
standards are slipping
to pay attention
to pay attention
listen to the silences
spaces in the noise
