Yesterday
Deep under the surface
Are talking rocks
Telling stories
And elbowing each other.
In the sky
Three main bodies float
One is the way some parts of the whole
Stick together
Awaiting resolution
Another is the collection of cans and can’ts
The third is an angel
Who promises that the legs are good.
In the vast landscape
The rocks, the fields
And the hazy horizon
Consider everything they see
As the higher sky above it all
Smiles.
Today
Like teeth in an x-ray
With the roots that they send
Into the jaw
Like bubbles of air
Caught in pockets
Like doctors in white gowns
Or maybe angels
Arranging everything in the best way
With love and laughter
Like warmth
Like kindness
Like the way it has to be
And it is.
Like countries with wars and complications
And borders everywhere
Like lakes and yellow sands
And the big sea
Marred
But still blue
And deep.
Like maps
For the shapes of clothing
That will move in the air
While being held by our bodies
Walking on this earth
Talking with each other
Knowing that nothing has ever moved
But the mind.
