endless mess


it's not neat, the world, it's messy
lava flows and flood debris
scree slopes and fungi covered logs
a village of huts skin covered
ready to move in the spring
predators and blood suckers
one of a kind snow flakes and sun sets
only the bodies of heaven purvey precise
and even they wobble
and even the moon drifts each year a few inches
away from the tides that collide
with rock strewn seaweedy shores
crabgrass pressing through a crack in the concrete
and yet not a thing out of place
meant to be this way this disarray
an endless mess
punctuated with love
