breath (Lotus Park) 1/5/25

listen:

instruments shake the air

like a gentle gust of birds.

I'm charmed by every

person i see, so warmed

by how their bare

dirty feet run over

the grass, how they pull

cigarettes & beer to and from

their lips, how they skip

stones across the arched back

of the American

River. I'm looking

for meaning in stranger's

faces again- I see

wrinkles

and frowns, my reflection

in the water of their eyes.
