Depressed
Do you notice too, how heavy
a blanket seems to rest on life?
Sometimes it moves a little,
there’s a breeze, but it falls back.
The season doesn’t alter
its thickness. The same vault
pushes and oppresses. No air
left to get things going.
Maybe it’s this must …
change that, something different.
Holes in the rigidity, biting things
open, refreshing.
