Close to the Bone
We are living
close to the bone
amid collective heartbreak
I stopped watching news
yet stepping outside
I notice what’s off
the weather
water
kindness
cooperation
my heart hurts
for me
and those I hold close
for all of us,
microbes included
we broke us
we must fix us
our atoms are
billions of years old
we are the universe
in human form
I think about that
In order to repair, first you must notice. Thanks for expressing this, we move on together.
living / close to the bone / amid collective heartbreak - says so much
