#2,545 How little matters

How little matters [unless
soul desires are entwined
with honesty] – I watch it –
reality on TV – but cannot
bide a scene [maybe two]
before I switch to others –
Our inconsequential lives
are naught [unless a lover
is found] – Perhaps a fall &
nursed recovery is enough
for some – perhaps not – A
friend once said he hadn’t
ever known love’s trouble
& was content – enough in
his life was enough – I sit –
this veranda is my family’s
landing pad – kids come &
go – & grandkids follow – a
wave of hello & later layla
tov – Ivrit echoes in empty
early hours – all are gone –
this morning is coffee & a
woodpecker’s hollowing –
my hosts at work – how in
any place so little matters
