So, okay:
one time only (just today):
I think it will be physically,
mentally, and
spiritually beneficial
to shift all thoughts
away from us.
I’m thinking of a simple rock;
a porous one with rounded-top and
how it feels to pick it up or
lie on a bed of jagged rocks.
Because
skin is so soft and
it’s ravelled around us.
Wait, wait—
it’s about us:
to touch all the rocks.
Oh, well,
it suffices.
Interact with the rocks.
Just break out
of the locks
of what’s been prescribed
to you / what
you’re subscribing to
frequently enough.
Know how to shut off
from the nonsense
and chatter,
so you can still recognize
the shadows of trees,
the humming of flies,
the texture of milkweed
as opposed to
say
dandelion seed.
And still interact,
knowing words
are just constructs,
with all creatures alike.
Because
it is necessary
to see the things
around you
so that you don’t
go blind.
There is a light inside of everything.
