Grains
9.15.11
Oh, material of love
sand, pigment, dirt
you carry and contain
flecks of our souls
encased and preserved
carefully and tenderly
in your grains
in your structure
Let us be one!
Why is it only us
who does any holding?
Why don’t you cling?
Falling, rolling, blowing
Away the wind carries you
in a way we only desire
Your cradle, we mimic
but our clumsy hands
reproduce a crude craft
and all dismantles itself
swinging, throwing, flinging
all that was precious
into the dark
empty womb of the unknown
And then we grieve
until a new pearl is found
again
or else give our lives
to death
and lie

In case of loss....
I am for the first time pretty actively throwing things out. This is partially because I am stressed about moving and for the first time having all this stuff is burdensome. However, I think it is also that I am ready to let go. I like objects and material and normally like to save them and hold them as something precious.
While throwing out an unthoughtful gift I couldn't help but watch the light cascade over its surface and find some beauty in an unappealing and unwanted object.
