People and (their) time.

 People and (their) time


Some have it and give it…


away for others to benefit from

for the price of a future favor

to the first one who crosses their path

squandering precious infinity 


I would be a bird today—a seagull

flying through drafts of wind rivers

landing to commune with fellows of flight

resting a while with birdsong absent


Breaking from the storm on the coast

coming toward land 

carrying ions for change 

edible in all forms seen, sacred, mundane

manna from heaven and sea 


Sand in bed this morning 

oh the dreams of a dark new moon


Where did I fly last night while this corpus slept?
