Elbows-
on the table
glow of the screen
socks kicked off
at the ready.
Here I hunker-
there you hunker
down
keeping
the in in
the out out.
Even when-
upset
uncertain
scared
We
are still here
gravitating to
the same place
the same space.
In this moment –
I can’t promise
anything
neither can you
nor they.
Things-
everything
shifting
changing
evolving.
Yet-
in this moment
as I belly up
to the table
socks near
my feet
Elbows-
on the table
ink dancing
on the page
It is enough.
In this moment-
I am enough
doing enough
so are you
so are they.
