Being

being
being with
com-
common
communion

the coming together
the drinks after church
the doors thrown open
and a tall dog
weaving between legs

the smell of things
the back and forth
the goosebumps as the singing starts up
floating
above the steady guitar

the present moment
the kitchen door creaking
the conversation, through
a glass pane
slid wide open

truth breaks through –

A yellow coat
on a sunny winter day
A whisper
on a street full of noise
The evening breeze

time
time
time
time
reclaimed
snatched back
enjoyed,
lived,
whiled away
