these days, i walk around
like a newborn calf
slick in the mud, stumbling
oh. to believe in the little hope
that tonight i will see the moon’s orange slice smile &
tomorrow i will see the clouds shiver their sky dance
if my life is just this; full of birds and shaky legs and
the grey morning kitten fog and the soft nighttime owl call
if this is all there is. why,
it is worth it,
that grand effort of getting up
