Life by principles and structures
over desire,
marked by regressions
and digressions
and aggressions.
For cause and for attention,
distention retains ponds
filled with retentions,
volumes of voluminous
volume, too much for
the ear to bear, and that
is why we read silently,
sometimes in the closet,
because we want that approval
won't get it
go to the author
for the words.
And so it is time
to lay the bricks
see the sticks for the patterns
that the trees offer
to the people paying
with their minds
for more than fire.
A heart health
rebounds
after another shot
on this little goal
another silence
breathed out
like the hole
that we will never
fill.
