Which is why… 19/31 #SOL2023

Which is why I negotiate terms,

digging for meaning, reason,

some logic where mostly wounds

seep, spilling over the container.

Which is why I read and doubt,

tapping out a way toward resolution

of those words not my own.

Which is why I am never settled,

spinning some storied cloth

for comfort in understanding another.

Which is why I still write.
