VERBS THAT DON’T TIE TOGETHER

-

Living verbs on shoelaces, noodles and string

They wave around in sea and air

And in the ground

Finding for an end to meet

All the waving, the changing

Making their own verb versions

Didn’t leave room for sitting still

That dreamy resolution there

An opaque orb of a hedge

Through which a home promise

Humans, history, thoughts, are complex. Intergenerational, tensions, tensions within ourselves. Though we constantly seek to find an end to meet, often there’s no connecting them. It’s natural to want that feeling of resolution, it feels like a baseline. But it’s not always there. Sometimes we have to sit in the opaque forever. We’re all in that together. You’re not alone. It’s not wrong to want to find the ends to meet. But it takes a lot of effort that may be better spent finding quiet within it where you can.
