daf
Meant to build an ark
instead i’m at the tower of babel
caught up in the senseless scrabble
here where nothing breathes
just the monotonous machinery
of incessant greed
the pleas and screaming me-me s
of our lesser needs
when what’s drawing me are trees
and windswept fields
that smell of home
when I’m all alone with these
is when there’s nothing wrong
a hiding place for patience
rest
and sweet relief
where piece by piece
is gathered up the wood I’ll need.
