pinscratch

+


a million moments had to happen just so,

a thousand planets align,

to make this one pinscratch on the road

in this exact place,

at this precise moment in time

how can that awareness fill my mind 

with anything less than profound peace,

and letting go

and come-what-may trust

why now do I feel I need to protect 

and guard and preserve
the pinscratch....

why can I not lie on my back
a pinscratch on this road myself

arms outstretched,
breathing deep,

laughing out loud

into the sky...
