so much is passing and
so much is greening
ash and starlight swirl
i am learning French, and remembering my Scottish and Yorkshire phrases
un croissant et un cafe, si vous plait
milky tea?
I'm knackered.
while my child prepares their cap and gown in uncertain enthusiasm
and others are called to even further distant shores
I really am knackered. I'll just lay down…
but I'm so excited. life is happening and pulling at me to stay in.
in the glow.
tonight the moon will have its moment regardless of constant loss and gain.
