three days was all it took
quick and sudden it was
a swift soft release
previously hidden, now exposed
still waters sitting
crashing to a halt
explain it away
this way of explanation
it was fine, now it’s not
unsettled, unsure,
this beautiful buoyant raft
rattles the calm
looking up the darkness shines
bright and beyond, waiting
rushing tomorrow comes at dawn
author’s notes: it’s been awhile since writing. starting again.
