Moth Unbothered

he in this

a life somehow below

a garden nurtured too long alone

fails to revive this day

or any other insisting thing

see the uncertain breeze is still with the sky pale

collapsing

answerless

knowing now the course of things that may have been

he moves from this side

back again shifting then again

and how he wants to be

or more than anything

in this closest distance

on crowded blossoms

for this

with moth

unbothered

The Moth Unbothered

13 September 2025

Calling Out

Walk by these clouds boundless in awe

They stare into one sun or another unbothered

Untethered mostly understood but

Call out now to this thinning stream of blue

How many days will it continue to be

And the sweet idea of it remains with me continuing

She true to her word follows me about relentlessly

And these sounds that river loudly and still about me

What will happen to them if the I fades to dust

Companions to the end wondrous and plain

In the midst of a thought struggling to find itself

I am both night and day

Sworn to the oath

The diabolical click

Of a deceiving

Eternity
