Mendable Today

Toil, soil, & tattered clay,
Forever, for never & mendable today.

Cracks, wax, & pains of waiting,
Tangles, mangroves, & acreage shading.

The fluency of our incongruence,
Forming harmonies of our fragment seeing.

Slow & steady, like a cigarette drag,
Breathing in the tides of you.

You hum my name,
& crinkled leaves begin to twirl.
