to, not from



... (distinctions)

*

today I felt the need,
the need to move away;
this place is much too close
and reeks of yesterday.

you say I should prefer
to outlast, to endure
– not clamor to escape
the demons at the door;

but it’s not the same as running –
there’s a diff’rence between flight
and the things you have to do
to get back to the light.

under the sun



is there nothing new?
every discovery
reeks of deja vu

cocoon



getting left behind
is sometimes necessary
- cocoons understand.

this is where we are,
but we’re forever seeking
new destinations.
