Hazy Acres

It is true

Lasting in the brief moments 

Could be either way

But there’s more than two 

One inch in any direction 

New thoughts

Reimagined outcomes stop predicting 

Just a new piece of green popping up 

On a thousand limbs

This property

This magic 

Signals coming in like breathing 

Answer some 

Ignore others

Watching patiently as the bridges realign

Thought it was more lonely 

Then the work of building showed itself 

Peoples

Conversations like seeds 

Months before

You can count new faces 

Real bonds you’ve worked for 

Even the ones you let go

Pretty neat to design it as it can be designed 

The boundary 

Yet hello and curiosity can wave on the other side 

And it can shift 

Now in 

Was out 

And similar the other way 

Seeing clearly the new beginnings in the middle rising  

Or the end which is also the beginning 

Or the end which is also the end 

Its nutty how far you run to stay rooted 

And continue 

There’s an animal in my crawl space 

And now in my ducts 

I hear it breathing 

And moving 

Returned a second time 

Wonder why 

It likes the heat or likes the vibrations 

Could be me on the other side 

Could be her 

Could be them telling me things 

Could just be an animal 

Lost and found 

Existing 

Sleeping as it crawls to the same space 

Curious wonder 

Trapped like a person is trapped 

Inside themselves 

Vents and hardwood 

Can be moved 

Thin lines 

One movement inside the chaos 

Changes lives 

Changes the color 

Even in the roots

Dating a stranger with no face

That too
