Poem: November 16, 2021

 Worn Path

I read old poems to remember

the things I have forgotten.


Nothing stays when

nothing is still.


It makes no sense to set up

residence in the one garden,

in the shade of the one tree.


There are so many gardens, 

so we are not still, but we

still return, still return when we


feel the need to remember, 

to stand beneath familiar trees,


the suns of lost gardens, 

the pages and leaves.
