You have to find your own way of stilling time. —Mary Ruefle
Alchemic wishes and wants, memories
and miracles disintegrate—
muted into mythology of lives lived.
A texture felt both like a shadow
and a daydream or the loss of time found.
It’s ok. A sense of panic is inevitable
when half of this year is behind us.
Please promise me you’ll decorate
for Christmas in July, and in between
all the holiday seasons after I’m gone.
Even machines take time to integrate
their learnings. Make the pause sacred
inside this constant state of readiness.
