poetry

firing up the activities

firing up the activities

the first night back
and I’ve traded sleep for doing

two states and one photo today:
that’s how it goes

we come into service
and the calendar balloons with commitments –

easing back into pre-pandemic busyness
we’ve less taste for it now

like lobsters who got a reprieve
we know the difference between tepid and roiling

today we saw tracks in sand
and the rest was a blur
