There are some things I know
aren’t happening
although I’ve wanted them
with all the force
I could muster from the very
beginning.
A dormer window. Guava tree.
A course
on floating. A tripfree
tongue. The universe
has other work, can’t always
be listening,
aligning the Rubik’s cube of
perverse
desires that snatch at
arbitrary things.
Some things aren’t going to
happen I know
they’re going to be always
denied me -
what earthly use is a dormer
window
on dead flat roofs? It’s an
anomaly.
Still I press on, undeterred.
Who knows? Maybe
next time, next life? Maybe
just moments to go.

It's Diwali, which is actually a festival of five days the main point of which is the festival of lamps. Shubha Deepavali if you are celebrating/observing.
May the light of peace and plenty shine brightly around you always.
Hari OM

ReplyDeleteAbsolutely, Hilary. Trying to be the best I can and do my best too, and the first thing on that list is to know when to let go of unrealistic expectations, especially relating to dormer windows haha
DeleteInspired by the light of peace. What else can we do?
