you start to wonder,
if wondering is it all,
that things are different now
that once big becomes small.
how the starlight shines infinite in eyes,
and thoughts of babes and pets
and two-bedroom upgrades
are in regular supply. How it feels
to partner up, to furnish, clean,
arrange the setup of spaces shared,
that everlasting bond, strong,
no matter how emotions play fickle
while you dodge and maneuver
between medications, and treatments.
as kitty climbs castle-high tower
and purchases like a bird all sharp-toothed
and eagerly lazy, you think you could sleep
soundly forever, even as your country burns
itself down all around you.
there's still time to cozy up and dream,
still whispers of everything's
and we who tiptoe through along creaky
foundations of our brother land
it seems quite possible,
as if hoping were all it took to be possible
that there is a light at the edge of the shadows
and pursuing that has never been a waste
of time.
