a given time

Joseph Horvat, two hakeas

image by Joseph Horvat

this is a given time
this time of grief

given
by all things wild
by your very existence

given
and received
by the wild part
that lives
deep
at your core

only
your wild part
comprehends all that is
grief

only
your wild part
can dance with grief

decamp into your wild self
when grief rises

and live in this camp
until
your wild self is you
