the swift kick of reminiscence never misses
heat waves flowing with scent superstition
cracking knuckle soothing
arthritic acceptance
conditions of a creature
calcified in their resentment

malleable variables rattling cages
a probable purpose disturbing containment
painfully slow
enduring the way saturation unfolds
gaining my grays

changing channels to a mood that I can handle
sustaining focus on what's out of my peripheral
whether or not
forgetting forgot to remind me
loss is inevitable

praying patiently
exchanging indecision for destiny
tell me it's worth something more

baby's breath
nevertheless
heart of a sailor
soul of a sword
