wither.
and remember
the beauty.
in your falter

marvel at the flowers
wither.
and remember
the beauty.
in your falter
// hudson biko
the sun lingers
between the branches.
holds the spaces
vacated by the silence
of the leaves.
it is all so bare.
and so full.
a light.
so bright.
reduced
to shadows.
// hudsonbiko
there are times
when i do not fear
the fall.
when i look at the streams
run down the earth.
and think.
of all the ways.
the pour
helps the flowers
rise.
// hudsonbiko
i do not worry.
about the life
i will have.
or the person
i will be.
in five.
ten.
fifteen.
or thirty.
years.
that person is coming.
together.
waiting.
for me.
there.
// hudson biko
there are parts
of our hurt
we hold.
until
we don’t know
how
to let go.
a quiet ache.
we come.
to love.
