Spiral
our
unique spiral
innocent on all counts
heavily invested in yesterdays
still to be found with our begging bowls
panhandling for more time or more attention
or for anything washed to us along this stream
this sediment forever settling amongst these rocks
depositing history gently, unrecognized by most
descending like that constant silent snowfall
unseen still yet forever landing all around
blanketing our every breath and moment
sensed at last only marking
just the fragile memory
of our hungry
lives
