Cows on a road
Life
appears as stories
varying in focus~
those more weighty
peace and war
push away a provincial
story of cows on a road~
(and others recorded below)~
It is deceiving though:
each story appears
vanishing immediately
rendering a sameness
a simple equality
to all stories~and
a sense of freedom
for a fleeting
new year~~
